The fire which started Monday, twenty miles NW of Fort Collins, Colorado, has forced evacuations of fifteen homes at this point. The number is low due to the isolated location of the fire.
Due to the isolation, it has been difficult for firefighters to get to the lines.
Winds were the primary factor in spreading the fire. They've also made it difficult for air crews to join the fight effectively.
At this point firefighters are hoping that the fire will be unable to cross the Poudre River, and for the winds to die out.
