Lowline Fire Update

Friday, Aug. 25, 2023

Size: 1899 acres

Cause: Lightning

Jurisdiction: USFS

Containment: 55%

Personnel: 34

The Lowline Fire has increased in size by 28 acres in the past week, with the growth occurring away from identified values toward the West Elk Wilderness. The containment lines and natural features are holding and restricting fire growth, as intended. The fire area has received intermittent rain showers but is expected to continue holding heat until snowfall. Fire suppression resources remain in place, assessing fire activity and protecting values at risk. Firefighters are prepared for quick response should fire conditions change and their presence will continue until the fire is declared out.
