UPDATE: List of evacuations and lifted evacuations for the Aspen Acres fire

The Pueblo County Sheriff’s Office lifted evacuation orders for a large area near the southeast area of the Aspen Acres fire.

The center reopened Tuesday morning at the Pueblo Academy of Arts at 29 Lehigh Ave., Pueblo. The center will be open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. through July 14. It will be closed Sunday. The wait-times for reentry cards was 45 to 50 minutes, a Gazette reporter observed Tuesday morning.

Areas in Pueblo, Custer, Huerfano and Fremont counties remain under evacuation.
