Fire crews gained some containment on a wildfire burning in the north of Aspen, though mandatory evacuations remain in place, federal officials said Friday.
The Spring Creek fire has burned 21 acres near the Eagle and Pitkin county lines, just north of the Ruedi Reservoir, since it was discovered Tuesday. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Firefighters stopped the fire from growing and gained 20% containment on Thursday, U.S. Forest Service officials said Friday morning.
Mandatory evacuations are still in place for homes along Eagle-Thomasville Road, also known as Crooked Creek Pass; north of Brush Creek Road; and south of Crooked Creek.
This is a developing story.
