Larimer County officials lifted more mandatory evacuations in the Pearl fire burning west of Red Feather Lakes on Wednesday.
The 128-acre wildfire that sparked Monday did not grow Tuesday or Wednesday despite high winds in the area, fire officials said in a Wednesday afternoon briefing. It was still 5% contained as of early Wednesday evening.
“It’s been a tough day. The crews have put in a lot of hard work, but things are looking good for now,” Incident Commander Trainee Ty Gripp said Wednesday.
