A wildfire has been burning for several days in Huerfano County, Colorado, dubbed the Reveille Fire. For those familiar with the area, the blaze is located northwest of Greenhorn Peak.

On Tuesday, the fire grew to 20 acres. No additional growth occurred on Wednesday. As of June 3, containment was at 0% with no containment update since.

This fire was started by a lightning strike, with fuels of aspen, grass, and shrubbery aiding in the growth of the blaze.

Smoke is expected to be visible in Gardner and in parts of the Wet Mountain Valley.
