PUEBLO DEPOT - 2018

On March 24, 2018, a fire destroyed two warehouses and damaged a third at the U.S. Army's Pueblo Chemical Depot. No chemicals were involved in the blaze, but there was plenty to burn at the 24,000-acre facility - a stockpile of aged mustard agent shells and other munitions.


Mustard guard shells stacked at the depot.
