Crews will continue to monitor the burn area and ensure all containment lines are secure. The fire is not expected to expand any further.
Smoke is expected to be visible from Colorado Highway 151 and U.S. Highway 160 near the HD Mountains and Chimney Rock as fuel sources, such as logs and stumps, smolder and creep.
