Flextec Escapes Fire's Wrath
Colorado Springs-based Flextec survived the Waldo Canyon Fire, but not without several anxious days of watching and waiting.
With cooperating weather conditions, "fire crews were able to keep the fire at bay for a couple days," says Rahija. But on Tuesday afternoon, June 26—driven by winds from the west at 65 mph—flames crested the ridge near the Flextec facility and sped about half a mile down the side of the hill in under 30 minutes.
