Boulder County fire crews were able to reach 100 percent containment on the Rabbit Mountain Fire Tuesday morning, but not before the wind-swept blaze burned more than 150 acres.
The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office tweeted at 9:15 a.m. today that the fire was fully contained and that 25 to 30 firefighters were on hand to begin mop up duty, but also added that the high winds remained a “major variable.”
No new structures were reported lost in the fire, bringing the total damage to three outbuildings and one barn. No residents or firefighters were injured, but one horse did suffer minor injuries.
Boulder County sheriff’s Cmdr. Mike Wagner said there were a few new small fires in the area overnight, but nothing that crews weren’t able to quickly contain.
