Authorities are asking residents near the Pine Gulch Fire north of Grand Junction to be ready to evacuate at a moment’s notice as the fire continued to grow over the weekend.
The 25,000-acre wildfire has been growing steadily since it was sparked by lightning on July 31. The fire is burning in remote, steep slopes about 18-miles north of Grand Junction in Mesa and Garfield counties, and the rough terrain has made firefighting difficult. It is only about 7 percent contained.
