Pine Gulch Fire Continues to Grow

The Pine Gulch Fire burning north of Grand Junction continued to expand yesterday and has burned more than 42,000 acres, with low humidity and gusty winds expected to fuel the fire today.   

The fire is burning in a remote area 18-miles north of Grand Junction in Mesa and Garfield counties, and the rough terrain has made firefighting difficult.  Containment remains at 7 percent.
