The size of a wildfire burning in southwest Colorado was revised down Wednesday morning from 2,700 acres to 2,568 acres following better mapping.

The containment achieved on the lightning-sparked East Canyon fire was also revised down from 5% to 1%, according to InciWeb, an official reporting site for fire managers. More than 100 fire personnel have been called out to fight the flames.

Firefighters said Wednesday the blaze picked up slightly about 3 a.m., but fire crews were able to extinguish hot spots quickly.

The fire “continues to move down small canyons on the east side and is slowly breaching retardant lines on top of the mesa,” a news release from the Rocky Mountain Incident Management Team said. “Firefighters are looking for safe ways to access these points and will use aircraft support as needed.”

As of Wednesday, no homes have been damaged by the fire, officials said. However, firefighters did find the blaze damaged two pieces of personal equipment near homes and a small homemade bridge on the south end.

The fire may have contributed to the haze over the Pikes Peak area Tuesday, but much of that smoke was coming north from two larger fires in Arizona, said Kyle Mozley, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Pueblo. A cold front moving into the area late Wednesday could help clear the air closer to the ground in the area, but haze could persist in the higher levels of the atmosphere, he said.

The conditions around the East Canyon fire are expected to remain hot, dry and breezy Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.

The fire about 20 miles west of Durango on the Montezuma-La Plata County line prompted some evacuations Monday, but county officials did not expect more Tuesday.

In Montezuma County, 23 homes had been evacuated and in La Plata County a handful were evacuated as of Tuesday, spokeswomen for both counties said. The fire was also threatening critical communications towers on top of Mancos Hill, said Megan Graham, spokeswoman for La Plata County.

The subdivisions in the area are on the Montezuma County side of the county line and the fire is moving east away from those homes, Montezuma County spokeswoman Vicki Shaffer said.

About 100 personnel are assigned to the fire burning on private and Bureau of Land Management property. A Type 2 team was expected to take over the fire Tuesday evening, bringing in additional personnel and resources.

“That is certainly an indication of the complexity and challenge of the fire,” Graham said.

Some firefighting resources were diverted from the East Canyon fire Tuesday afternoon to a fire between Durango and Aztec, New Mexico in hopes of dosing the fire while it is small, according to a news release.

The East Canyon fire was reported mid-day Sunday after lightning in a Saturday storm started numerous fires in the area. It is burning in pinon, juniper and Gambel oak, officials said.
