Fire officials say the Lee fire is 68 percent contained, after burning nearly 138,000 acres of mountainsides, grasslands and pastures in Rio Blanco and Garfield counties. The Bureau of Land Management has reopened portions of public land, while keeping others closed to the public for the time being.

A new wildfire sparked in the “remote, rugged terrain” of White River National Forest on Sunday and has consumed 25 acres, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
