Multiple Large Wildfires Burn Western Colorado, New Mexico, Montana-Idaho Border
Multiple wildfires continue to burn across western Colorado, New Mexico, and the Montana-Idaho border, causing smoky skies and prompting evacuations. In western Colorado, the South Rim Fire near Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park has grown to 1,640 acres with zero containment, leading to park closure and evacuations, while the Mountain View Fire near Buena Vista is 50% contained amid ongoing firefighting efforts. Meanwhile, in New Mexico's Gila Wilderness, the Turkey Feather and Chicken Fires have burned about 6,000 acres with potential to merge, while the Laguna Fire is 87% contained and the Oak Ridge Fire on the Navajo Nation is 93% contained. On the Montana-Idaho border, three fires including the Anderson, McConn, and Blacktail Fires are burning small areas with active suppression efforts aided by rainfall and aerial support. Hot, dry conditions combined with scattered storms and gusty winds are expected to persist across the Western Slope, contributing to fire activity and smoke that is expected to linger through the weekend, affecting air quality across multiple counties. Authorities continue to monitor the fires closely and issue evacuations and air quality alerts to protect residents and visitors.
