6.12.22, 9:20 pm: I-70 all lanes are open, crews are clear, and fire is under control. Crews will continue to monitor as high winds are expected again tomorrow.
6.12.22, 8:20 pm: Thanks to the crews’ quick initial response to a fire along I70, it allowed for a quick attack and they have stopped forward progress.
Due to the fire being in close proximity to the freeway there was a temporary stoppage of traffic, but I-70 has since reopened. We urge vehicles to use caution if traveling in the area due to fire personnel still working on any hotspots. We are still trying to determine the cause of the fire and currently estimate the fire to be 1-2 acres in size with a low potential to spread. Thank you for everyone’s patience.
Update: (7:45 pm) – Gypsum Fire Protection District is working in unified command with BLM Colorado Fire with a good initial knockdown. The fire is holding at 1-2 acres and no homes or property are being threatened.
I70 WB is now open and crews are working to open 1 lane EB I70 soon.
