Forest Service officials declared 'a full suppression' approach to the fire, even though it was burning in the wilderness
No evacuation orders had been issued around Fraser. The fire apparently began Tuesday in the wilderness near the Devil’s Thumb Trailhead, about 7 miles northeast of Fraser. It was burning in forests where mountain pine beetles have killed trees and wind has blown dead trees down to the ground.
Forest Service officials declared “a full suppression” approach to the fire, even though it was burning in the wilderness. It is one of five fires burning around western Colorado. The National Weather Service on Thursday issued a “red flag” fire danger warning in western Colorado as warm, dry, and windy conditions favored flames.Firefighters south of Parachute still were battling the 2,940-acre Spring Creek fire that broke out around June 24 on private land in Garfield County, now 37% contained. More than 500 firefighters, with air support, were trying to attack flames and hotspots.
