Fire crews working the Cameron Peak Fire raised the containment figure to 94% on Saturday.
The wildfire, which started Aug. 13, affected 208,913 acres.
On Friday, firefighters with the Southern Area Gold Type 2 Incident Management Team reached and put out two very remote hotspots in the Pingree area and treated a third one near the Colorado State University Mountain Campus, the fire team said in its Saturday morning report, adding, “This work enabled the incident management team to increase the fire’s containment from 92 to 94%.”
The team said fire behavior was expected to be minimal again on Saturday as “short days are keeping fine fuels shaded for most of the day, and there is a very low probability that these fuels could carry fire.”
A team of 264 firefighters remains working on the fire, mainly on suppression repair and fuels reduction.
Cause of the fire remains under investigation, but it is believed to be human-caused.
