BULLETIN
Mandatory evacuations are in effect across Huerfano County as the Aspen Acres Fire continues to burn with only 13% containment across 87,000 acres, creating patchy smoke throughout the Walsenburg area with moderate air quality concerns. On top of the fire threat, the region is dealing with a water main break that remains unlocated, prompting local groups to supply water to residents.
