A new fire was reported last night. The Hicks Fire is burning 2.5 miles south of Highway 50, 5 miles southwest of Sargents in the Gunnison National Forest.
There are active flames on this small 2-acre fire and smoke can be seen from Highway 50. A helicopter is on-site and is dropping water on the fire.
There are no structures threatened at this time. Many Forest Service Roads are closed in the area.
