Aspen Acres Fire: Reentry and Recovery | Denver News

The Aspen Acres Fire has scorched nearly 94,000 acres, destroyed over 260 homes, and forced 12,000 people from their neighborhoods—though some in Colorado City got the all-clear Monday. To reenter reopened zones, residents must show a disaster assistance card, checked by National Guard at checkpoints. Even if you’re still evacuated, securing your card now can smooth your return. Many are still camping out, anxious about their homes’ fate or potential re-evacuation. A 9 p.m. curfew and emergency alerts are in place—sign up for local notifications and monitor official social media. Amid the devastation, community support is strong, with neighbors rallying and first responders praised for their tireless efforts.
