Glenwood Springs Fire Department

UPDATE – 9:50 am: Firefighters continue to work in steep, rocky terrain to strengthen containment lines and suppress remaining hot spots. Updated mapping has more accurately measured the fire at 4.54 acres.

Crews are continuing suppression efforts today. Approximately 30 firefighters and agency partners attended this morning’s briefing. Incident objectives include firefighter and resident safety, achieving full containment, and minimizing additional impacts to I-70.

For firefighter safety and access, the slow lane of westbound I-70 in the incident area is expected to remain closed throughout the day. Please use caution and expect delays while traveling through the area.

Thank you for your patience and support.
