There doesn't appear to be a live feed coming anywhere out of Rio Grange country or any of the adjacent counties. Here's a statewide map of counties that have scanner feeds (red). Click on the county of your choice and you will be presented with a list of scanner that are streaming to the interent. Click on the little speaker symbol on the left of the scanner and that will launch the player for that feed.

The Lime Gulch fire in the mountains west of Denver is now 15 percent contained, officials said Friday evening. Part of the evacuated area on SW Platte River Road and in Buffalo Creek Township will be open to residents only later Friday. Denver Water, which closed Waterton Canyon on Thursday, said the canyon would remained closed for now.

Just drove up to my vantage point, good overview of the Lime Gulch Fire (Lions Gulch) area. There is no major smokes or flames visible, smoldering area's within the fire borders. Hope things stay calm as we move towards a Red Flag Warning in place @ noon today.....

Heading out to press briefing... will be back ASAP to post a quick update and then I'm headed downhill... I can't sit in front of this computer all weekend. Maybe someone will pick up the thread for us?
