Crews Keep Cameron Peak Fire From Growing, Some Voluntary Evacuations Lifted

Firefighters are anticipating the warmer temperatures because the frigid weather caused the water used by crews to freeze. But the warmer temperatures also bring risk of fueling the fire again.

Some voluntary evacuations have been lifted for the Cameron Peak Fire and East Troublesome Fire, including Highway 7 to Allenspark.
