Wildfires Rage in Colorado Mountains | Denver News

Wildfires are erupting in Colorado’s high country, with the Fishhook Fire churning on Rabbit Ears Pass and the Green Ridge Fire exploding south of Stagecoach State Park — the latter forcing a mandatory evacuation for residents east of the blaze. Smoke is visible from town, and officials are urging immediate action with no time to pack. A pre-evacuation notice covers areas north toward Stagecoach Reservoir. Both fires’ causes remain unknown, but dry conditions under Stage 1 fire restrictions since June 19 have made matters worse. Stay tuned — this is fast-moving and dangerous.
