A radio station devoted to right-wing, anti-government politics was gutted by fire, but an investigation revealed no foul play, police said.
Colorado Bureau of Investigation agents were in this small town Sunday to determine the cause of the fire at KHNC. The station airs the American Freedom Network, a show that promotes separatist movements and extreme right-wing philosophy.
The Saturday night fire about 40 miles north of Denver also destroyed a publishing office for a magazine called American Freedom.
Douglas Ray Hickman, station security manager, said threats have been directed at the station in the past. But he said repairs made recently to the station heating system might have had something to do with the fire.
The station gained notoriety last year when the Freemen, who held the FBI at bay for 81 days in a remote farm compound in eastern Montana, contacted the station during the siege to air their grievances.
