Editor’s note: This article was updated. The fire did not start not on land managed by BLM. It is roughly 4.6 miles away from BLM land.

A wildfire north of Hayden spread to nearly 50 acres on Friday afternoon amid high winds and dry conditions.

The fire, called the County Road 80 fire, prompted a pre-evacuation notice issued Friday for residents in the area of Routt County Roads 70 and 80 north of Hayden due to the flames in the area. That order was canceled just after 3 p.m. on Saturday.

According to West Routt Fire Protection District Chief Trevor Guire, the 46-acre fire was 100% contained as of Monday. The flames had been 70% contained as of Saturday morning, according to Routt County Sheriff Doug Scherar.

Guire said Monday that the fire, which started on private land, was believed to be human-caused but that an investigation remains ongoing.

“That is private land with a state hunting access on it, it is leased from the Flanders Ranch,” said Guire on Monday. “It is human-related but it is still under investigation, we had a BLM investigator out and the Routt County Sheriff’s Office is a part of that investigation.”

Resources from the U.S. Wildland Fire Service and the U.S. Forest Service assisted in fighting the fire, according to a spokesperson with the U.S. Department of the Interior, led by firefighters from the West Routt Fire Protection District and joined by Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue members and Routt County Sheriff’s Office deputies.

The U.S. Interior spokesperson confirmed Monday that U.S. Wildland Fire Service fire and fuels specialists, (not BLM), completed their investigation and are finalizing a report that they will share with Routt County.

“Their report is only part of the overall investigation led by Routt County, which is still ongoing,” the spokesperson added.

The response to the fire also included aircraft dropping water and fire retardant.

Sustained winds in the area of the fire ranged from 20-23 mph Friday afternoon with gusts up to 39 mph. The area was under a National Weather Service Red Flag Warning through 9 p.m. Friday. The warning signaled that critical fire weather conditions were likely, meaning “a combination of strong winds, low relative humidity and warm temperatures can contribute to extreme fire behavior.”

A pre-evacuation notice means residents should be prepared to leave in case an evacuation notice is issued. For a wildfire evacuation checklist from the city of Steamboat Springs, go to: tinyurl.com/35k55tv6.
