310 Fire Update
Monday, August 10, 2026 – 8:00 a.m.
Colorado Incident Management Team

Phil Daniels, Incident Commander
Size: 603 acres | Containment: 47% | Total Personnel: 179
Location: 3.5 miles southeast of Parachute, CO in Garfield County

Reported: August 6, 2026, at 12:37 p.m.

Current Situation: Containment continues to increase at the northern end of the fire.

Firefighters installed over 3,000 feet of hose to get water to areas on the southwestern flank that engines cannot reach. Today, crews will mop up and work to reinforce and increase containment lines throughout the perimeter of the fire.

Weather: There is a slight chance of rain and thunderstorms in the forecast. Weather will remain hot throughout the week with an increase in relative humidity.

Fire Behavior: The southeast corner of the fire remains active, showing smoldering and creeping behavior in brush-model fuels, with occasional torching and no timber involvement. In the southwest corner, mopping up and securing containment line is ongoing, but fire activity persists with some smoldering and creeping behavior. Activity on the north side of the perimeter is moderated, with only isolated heat sources detected.

Fire Restrictions: Stage 2 Fire Restrictions remain in effect throughout Garfield County, and on land managed by the Bureau of Land Management and the White River National Forest. All open fires are prohibited to help reduce the risk of wildfire ignition and spread.

Evacuations/Closures: For the most updated information, please visit the Garfield County Emergency Operations Center page at www.garfieldcounty.net. Register for emergency alerts at http://www.garco911.com.

A temporary flight restriction (TFR) is in effect in the airspace above the fire. Wildfires are always a no-fly zone for unauthorized aircraft, including drones. If you fly, we can’t.

Reported: August 6, 2026, at 12:37 p.m.

On Friday, Governor Jared Polis verbally declared a disaster emergency. This verbal declaration activates the State Emergency Operations Plan and directs the Department of Public Safety and its Divisions of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) and Fire Prevention and Control (DFPC) to take all necessary and appropriate actions to assist with response, recovery, and mitigation efforts. This support includes engines and hand crews to assist in containment efforts, DFPC aerial resources, and the DFPC-sponsored Type 3 Incident Management Team to manage incident response efforts.

Current Situation: Crews continue to make good progress on containment lines, utilizing handlines where heavy equipment could cause resource damage. Minimal dozer line, as well as continued aviation support, continue to be utilized. Crews remain focused on achieving containment objectives while strengthening and securing fire lines.

Weather: The forecast continues to call for very hot and dry conditions. Relative humidities are expected to fall into single digits again today with a slight chance of scattered showers throughout the weekend.

Fire Behavior: The southeast corner of the fire remains active, showing smoldering and creeping behavior in brush-model fuels, with occasional torching and no timber involvement. In the southwest corner, fire activity persists with smoldering and creeping behavior, where mopping up and securing the containment line is ongoing. Activity on the north side of the perimeter is moderated, with only isolated heat sources detected.
