Road closures are still in place, and only residents and public safety traffic are allowed, according to a post from the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office (ECSO) on Saturday morning.
According to the U.S. Forest Service, the firefighters are still working on the 20-acre fire, and the fire is currently 40% contained.
