416 Fire is 100% Contained

Tuesday, July 31, 2018 at 1:00 PM

Hot spots will continue to smolder in the interior for weeks to come. It is going to take a significant moisture event over the whole burn scar to completely put the fire out. Due to recent weather events, increasing greening in the higher elevations and lack of observed smoke during monitoring, we are confident that the fire will stay within its current containment lines.

From the San Juan National Forest:

As of 1:00 pm Tuesday, July 31, 2018, the 416 Fire is 100% contained. This does not mean that the fire is controlled. Hot spots will continue to smolder in the interior for weeks to come. It is going to take a significant moisture event over the whole burn scar to completely put the fire out. Due to recent weather events, increasing greening in the higher elevations and lack of observed smoke during monitoring, we are confident that the fire will stay within its current containment lines. The area around the Fire is closed to all public entry for safety reasons. Hazards include burning hot spots, debris flows, flooding and falling burned trees.
