Two Fires in Routt County | Denver News

Two wildfires are burning in Routt County, Colorado, with wildly different outcomes. The Green Ridge Fire, at 45 acres and 45% contained, was quickly brought under control thanks to swift response efforts—no homes lost, and some evacuations lifted, with an evacuation center open at SOROCO High School. Meanwhile, the Fishhook Fire, which exploded to over 200 acres since igniting July 12, remains at zero percent containment. Terrain challenges have forced crews to rely on aerial support, and the Steamboat ski resort has closed its upper mountain as a precaution—even though no direct threat exists. Pre-evacuation notices are in effect for nearby forest areas, and officials are racing to contain the growing blaze.
