Authorities could restrict activities in the hills northwest of Boulder after a series of human-caused fires.
The most recent, the 60-acre Maxwell fire, started Sunday from an abandoned campfire and was 80 percent contained Tuesday evening, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
The fire is on the edge of the 622-acre burn area left by the Lefthand Canyon fire in March, which was sparked by shooting. Last September, a fire pit caused the 6,200-acre Fourmile Canyon fire, which consumed 160 homes.
“Agency officials are considering options for changes in area management keeping weather, available resources and public safety in mind,” the Forest Service stated Tuesday.
No details were released, however.
