Narrative:
Self briefing from den FSS using recordings. Departure west from apa (centennial) to colorado #285 (highway) via pilotage. Noticed forest fire on north side of route. Passed less than 5 NM from fire. Overheard on flight watch that this was declared a sua. Did not get that information from FSS recordings earlier. Saw no other traffic. Suggest it would be helpful to ensure this information is on all FSS recordings and also because of proximity to local airports, ground control or tower could alert departing pilots in that direction of this sua or to contact FSS for further information.

Narrative: SELF BRIEFING FROM DEN FSS USING RECORDINGS. DEP WEST FROM APA (CENTENNIAL) TO COLORADO #285 (HIGHWAY) VIA PILOTAGE. NOTICED FOREST FIRE ON NORTH SIDE OF ROUTE. PASSED LESS THAN 5 NM FROM FIRE. OVERHEARD ON FLT WATCH THAT THIS WAS DECLARED A SUA. DID NOT GET THAT INFO FROM FSS RECORDINGS EARLIER. SAW NO OTHER TFC. SUGGEST IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO ENSURE THIS INFO IS ON ALL FSS RECORDINGS AND ALSO BECAUSE OF PROX TO LOCAL ARPTS, GND CTL OR TWR COULD ALERT DEPARTING PLTS IN THAT DIRECTION OF THIS SUA OR TO CONTACT FSS FOR FURTHER INFO.
