The fire was transitioned to the USFS last evening, they will continue to use Station 43 as their hub until the fire is completely secured.

June 14, 8 p.m. Firefighters brought the 20-acre Spring Creek Fire to 90 percent containment today. The fire, which is in Eagle County near Thomasville, has not grown in three days and shows little activity except for small areas of heat within the perimeter.

Firefighters will continue to secure the remaining 10 percent of the perimeter (red on the map), patrol the entire perimeter, and begin repairing suppression lines where appropriate. The 10 percent uncontained perimeter is on a steep slope with many dead aspen snags that make access difficult. The challenge with bringing this area into containment continues to be the difficulty of the terrain, not active fire, and firefighters are making progress.

The seasonal opening of several Forest Service roads was postponed from today until Tuesday to reduce traffic for firefighter and public safety. This includes the Eagle-Thomasville (400), Burnt Mountain (506), Powerline (414) and Hat Creek (416) roads.

This will be the last Facebook update on this fire unless the situation changes. We appreciate all the support!
