COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — The Army says a training explosion may have sparked a 6,500 acre wildfire on Fort Carson near Colorado Springs.

Fort Carson spokeswoman Karen Connelly said Wednesday the detonation of less than a quarter stick of the military explosive C-4 in a rock quarry may have caused the fire.

Connelly could not immediately provide details about the C-4 training.
