GJFD says it broke out just after 8 p.m. Wednesday night.
No structures were threatened and no injuries have been reported.
Smoke was highly visible from the downtown Grand Junction area.

Westbound lanes of West Avenue were shut down but have since reopened.
No word on how the blaze began or containment, but we’re told it’s burning in a remote area.
