## Resource

Arapahoe County’s Sable Altura Fire District is charging $5,000 for any rescue from abandoned missile silos—after two dramatic rescues in just one week. These sites are deadly traps: 50-60 foot drops into pitch blackness, flooded with water and twisted metal, plus lethal gases like carbon monoxide and radon. Social media is fueling the danger, with urban explorers posting risky videos. Despite concrete slabs and barbed wire, trespassers keep showing up. Officials fear the trend will turn rescues into recoveries—and are banking on the steep fee to scare people off before tragedy strikes.
