We have reached out to the Red White and Blue Fire Protection District for an update to see if it has been completely contained or is still burning. We are awaiting their response.
There was said to be only less than 25 fire personnel from Lake Dillon Fire Rescue, USFS and Red White and Blue Fire Protection District on-scene. Summit County Sheriff’s Office also assisted as an Incident Cooperator.
