The Dragonman’s shooting range and the Ellicott Fire Department are asking the public for help in identifying two people believed to have caused a fire on the first day of 2026. The El Paso County Sheriff’s Office briefly issued an evacuation order north of the Schriever Space Force Base arou nd 1 p.m. Thursday due to a fire at 1200 Dragonman Drive, according to a social media post from the law enforcement agency. The Ellicott Fire Department extinguished the fire, and the Sheriff’s Office lifted the order about 20 minutes after deputies told residents to evacuate. The evacuation included the area west of Curtis Road, south of Davis Road, east of Blaney Road and north of Highway 94. In a separate post, Dragonman’s staff confirmed that the fire started behind the shooting range and was caused by incendiary ammunition, which they said they don’t allow.
