Officials said this evening that the 16.6-acre Gulch Fire near Keystone was 100 percent contained.
A powerline ignited the blaze on Thursday during a time of high winds in the area, investigators said. About 75 firefighters, with support from a heavy helicopter, fought the fire today on steep, rocky slopes, and crews will continue to monitor the burned area on Sunday, officials said.
Meanwhile, near the Colorado-New Mexico border, two wildfires were nearly out this morning, with full containment expected by the end of the day.
Bill Kight of the Rocky Mountain Incident Management Team said that the lightning-caused Bear Fire about 20 miles north of Ramos, N.M., and the Purgatoire Fire a few miles away were more than 90 percent contained.
