Colorado’s Lee Fire expanded to roughly 113,000 acres on Monday, making it the fifth-largest wildfire in the state’s recorded history, according to the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control. The blaze, burning across Rio Blanco and Garfield counties near the towns of Meeker and Rifle, remained only 6%–7% contained after gusty winds and low humidity drove rapid growth over the weekend. Fire managers said more than 1,200 firefighters, 13 aircraft, 62 engines and 21 hand crews are working to keep the flames west of Colorado State Highway 13 and north of County Road 5. No injuries or structural losses have been reported, but health officials issued air-quality advisories for several counties as smoke spread across western Colorado. On Saturday, the state evacuated all 179 inmates from the minimum-security Rifle Correctional Center, relocating them about 150 miles southeast to the Buena Vista Correctional Complex as a precaution. Residents in sparsely populated areas nearby remain under evacuation orders or have been told to be ready to leave at short notice while fire-fighters contend with forecast red-flag conditions.
