About this incident

Three wildfires are burning on the Dolores Ranger District northwest of Dolores, CO in the Glade area. Extremely high winds and low fuel moisture levels are driving these fires northeast and they are expected to continuing growing into the evening. Firefighters were forced to pull off the fires due to extreme fire behavior and dangerous conditions. Aircraft have been grounded due to high winds.

▪ Doe Canyon Fire: 387 acres - west of FSR 504

▪ Far Draw Fire: 649 acres - located in Narraguinnep Canyon

▪ Ferris Fire: 4777 acres - east of FSR 504

The fires are not burning near homes or other infrastructure. Out of an abundance of caution, the San Juan NF is closing Bradfield Bridge Campground, NFSR 504 south to the base of McPhee Dam, NFSR 521 and NFSR 504.

San Juan Team 8, the local Type 3 Incident Management Team, will take command of the three incidents this evening.
