Overview

• Cooler temperatures and scattered rain limited the Lee fire’s growth to 300 acres, raising its footprint to about 133,954 acres and boosting containment to 31%.
• The Elk fire remained steady at 14,518 acres and saw its containment edge up to 93%.
• Mandatory evacuations along Colorado 13 were scaled back Saturday, though some zones west of Meeker and near the Garfield County line remain under order.
• The Crosho fire held at roughly 2,200 acres in Rio Blanco and Routt counties, where mandatory and pre-evacuation notices remain in place.
• Statewide emergency measures, including an expanded disaster declaration and $2.5 million in funding from Gov. Polis, continue to support crews and aircraft on multiple fires.
