The Cameron Peak Fire nearly doubled in size since Sunday. It is quickly growing and may even surpass the Spring Creek Fire that burned more than 108,000 acres in Costilla and Huerfano counties in southern Colorado in 2018.

The Cameron Peak Fire is burning 25 miles east of Walden and 15 miles southwest of Red Feather Lakes. The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office is investigating reports of damaged structures in two different areas, Monument Gulch and Rustic, but trees blocking the roads are making it difficult to confirm the extent of the damage.
