White River National Park wildfire reaches 100% containment; Frank Solich speaks to the media for the first time this season

Today is Tuesday, October 13, 2020. Here’s what you need to know:

Good morning, 

Following snowfall in northwest Colorado, an 88-acre wildfire has been entirely contained. An inch of snow, large bursts of wind and 75 firefighters have contributed to controlling the blaze. The fire began around 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday with the source of ignition under investigation, though it is believed to be human-caused. As of Sunday night, the fire was estimated to be 85 percent contained.

The closures affecting Dice Hill and Spring Creek Road were lifted as have all evacuations. Due to the nature of wildfires, firefighters are actively patrolling the perimeter and will continue to do so for the next several days.
