Crews working the Aspen Acres fire successfully knocked down some hot spots and established fire lines in recent days, as containment fell from 71 to 68% on Wednesday.

That work was done on the southern edge of the fire, including an area near Rye that firefighters are calling the “chicken foot.” The fire has seen very little overall growth in the past week and a half, standing at 101,961 acres burned in Pueblo and Custer counties south of Pueblo as of Wednesday morning.

Wednesday also brought a change in leadership. A Type 3 incident management team has replaced Rocky Mountain Complex Incident Management Team 3 as the need for resources on the fire lessens.

Crews have been recovering and removing equipment, such as hoses and pumps, that is no longer needed on the fire line. Firefighters are also conducting suppression repair, clearing logs and limbs, moving slash piles and performing chipping operations.

Heat and smoke will continue to be a problem for an “extended duration” due to heavy concentrations of dead and down fuels.

Nearly all evacuation orders were lifted as of Wednesday evening. Three zones under an evacuation warning across Custer and Pueblo counties remained in effect.

Here’s an update on other wildfires burning across the state:

“Please use caution, especially on roadways where heavy machinery could be working just around the corner,” officials wrote in a social media post.
