Update 6/4
#Reveillefire Fire management officials are carefully assessing the situation to develop a course of action for the fire. Factors being taken into consideration are public and firefighter safety, values at risk, potential impacts to land and communities, firefighting resource availability, fuel conditions, and possible fire duration. The safety of our firefighters is our highest priority and putting firefighters near this fire could compromise their safety. Growth potential is expected to be limited, with 1-2 foot flame lengths this afternoon. There are no adequate escape routes or safety zones in the area of the fire that would allow for firefighters to safely retreat from the fire if needed. Currently, smoke impacts are limited, however, smoke may become visible from Gardner, Westcliffe, Beulah, Rye, and surrounding areas. For more information about air quality and health impacts from fire, please visit the Colorado Department of Health and Environment at: Prescribed fire smoke may affect your health.

Public and firefighter safety is always the number one priority during a wildfire.
