Two Fires Threaten Steamboat | Denver News

Two wildfires rage near Steamboat Springs — the Fishhook Fire, at 94 acres and hard to reach, and the Green Ridge Fire, forcing evacuations and threatening nearly 500 structures. Governor Polis has declared a disaster emergency. Helicopters are using Stagecoach Reservoir for water drops, temporarily closing boating but leaving campgrounds open. Smoke is worsening air quality, and Steamboat Resort is snowmaking as a precaution. Causes remain under investigation.
