SILVERTHORNE, Colo. (CBS4) - A wildfire burning in Summit County is fully contained after burning more than 200 acres.

The Brush Creek Fire broke out on Friday near Silverthorne.

Fire crews say mop-up work is underway, but heavy timber is still burning in the center of the burn area and it could take weeks to fully extinguish.
