Crews continue to fight the Iron Fire in Moffat County 18 miles northwest of Craig. The Iron Fire was discovered just before noon on Friday and as of the Sunday afternoon report, the estimated size is 7,361 acres and it is 30 percent contained. Portions of Moffat County Road 17 and County Road 5 are closed. Smoke has been visible from Highway 13 and County Roads 3 and 7. “The Iron Fire had minimal fire growth on Saturday, despite high winds that grounded aircraft. The fire did not have significant growth outside of the Initial Attack footprint…The increase in cloud cover and precipitation has lessened the fire behavior.”
