UPDATE: We've also closed W. Platte River Rd btwn Foxton & South Platte Hotel due to fire hoses being laid across pic.twitter.com/14shIki2D6

Crews are shutting down for the night, one crew of 6 will remain on the fire. The plan is to not shut down the river tomorrow, and they don't think they will need air support.

If we hear anything else, we'll update it here. Otherwise, we'll pick up again tomorrow.

Jeffco Sheriff's Office anticipates W Platte River Rd and the river to remain closed tonight.
