The swift response from Jefferson-Como, Northwest, Platte Canyon, and Hartsel Fire Departments effectively addressed the wildfire off USFS Road 821 and County Road 39, now approximately 10 acres in size, with USFS taking command. Park County Communications deserves recognition for adeptly handling the surge of 911 calls.

PSICC_NF Update 9/28/2024 6:00pm South Park Ranger District utilizes indirect firing tactics to primarily keep firefighters from operating amongst numerous snags and heavy surface fuels. Moderate fire conditions allows for appropriate indirect tactics. Expect more smoke in the area as crews burn out from Forest Road 821 and 131 and utilize engines to reinforce the fires edge with wet line.
