There are now three wildfires burning in Colorado. They are barely contained and continue to spread.
Grizzly Creek Fire: 19,440 acres, 0 percent containment (Aug 15 @ 7:30 a.m.)
Pine Gulch Fire: 73,381 acres, 7 percent containment (Aug 14 @ 2:45 p.m.)
Cameron Peak Fire: 5,424 acres, no containment (Aug 15 @ 7:30 a.m.)
More than 100,000 acres of land in western Colorado was burning as of Saturday evening as three major fires continued to grow and prompt evacuations. The Williams Fork fire near Fraser ballooned to more than 4,100 acres on Saturday. It started midday Friday. The fire is 0% contained and officials say they don’t know what caused it to ignite. The fire started near the Henderson Mill, a major economic driver for Grand County. Authorities say workers at the mill were some of the first to respond to the fire. Haze is filling the skies on the Front Range causing unhealthy air. Donating to people fighting the fires is all we can do to help right now.
