Spruce Creek fire in southwestern Colorado trapped between 2 forest roads, 38% contained

The Spruce Creek fire that’s burning on nearly 5,700 acres of U.S. Forest Service land in southwestern Colorado is 38% contained, fire officials announced Friday. Firefighters trapped the flames between Forest Road 556 on the west side of the fire and Forest Road 557 on the east side, Forest Service officials said Thursday evening. The lightning-sparked Spruce Creek fire is burning in part of the San Juan National Forest approximately 11 miles northeast of Dolores in Montezuma County and 21 miles north of Mesa Verde. After the fire grew thousands of acres overnight Wednesday — more than doubling the burn area — the growth overnight Thursday was minimal, according to fire records.
