There is no containment on the fire that began Aug. 13 on the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests near Cameron Pass and Chambers Lake. Hot, dry conditions with strong winds combined with dry, heavy timber stands are fueling the fire’s growth.
Several areas remain under an evacuation order and a portion of Roosevelt National Forest remains off limits to visitors due to the fire.
