Numa Drain Canal Bridge
Posted November 15, 2009, by Kevin Flynn (kevin [dot] j [dot] flynn [at] comcast [dot] net)

This bridge burned in a wildfire on the Colorado plains on April 15, 2008. Two firefighters died on their way to defend the town of Ordway from the flames when the truck plunged over the abutment, obscured by smoke. It has been replaced.
