Mild weather has given crews a reprieve to fortify containment lines, especially north of the St. Charles River, where a shift in fuel type stopped the fire’s advance. A flare-up near Siloam Road damaged an outbuilding but was quickly contained. Mandatory evacuations are in place for Wetmore, Beulah, Rye, and parts of Colorado City, with pre-evacuation notices for Rockvale and Coal Creek. Officials warn that Sunday’s thunderstorms could bring lightning and wind—but also possible rain, risking flash floods in burned zones. Air support via helicopters is critical as crews prioritize protecting communities amid volatile weather.
