The Collom Fire near Colowyo Mine has burned roughly 639 acres, but no structures are currently threatened.
Moffat County Sheriff KC Hume said Wednesday just before 5 p.m. that 100 firefighters had been assigned to the fire that broke out Tuesday afternoon on Elk Ridge Mining and Reclamation property southwest of Craig along Highway 13. Hume reported no injuries to fire personnel or others.
County Road 51 remained temporarily closed early Wednesday evening due to the fire, which is burning south of Highway 13, west of County Road 51 and south of County Road 32, per the MCSO. Hume said there was good reason to expect County Road 51 would be reopened later Wednesday evening, once the operational period ended.
