) — Difficult, steep inaccessible terrain has presented a challenge in suppressing the Kings Canyon *****, according to the Upper Colorado River Interagency ***** Management Unit (UCRIFHM).

The unit said Monday the conditions have led around 10% of the Kings Canyon ***** to be contained and has been mapped at 213 acres. Kings Canyon is about 15 miles southwest of Fruita.

“Smoke will be visible for the next few days as resources further strengthen containment lines and additional resources arrive,” according to UCRIFHM.

The ***** grew around 161 acres on Sunday. A Type 3 helicopter, one large airtanker, four single engine airtanker, multiple engines and a Type 2 hand crew have attacked the blaze.

The ***** is burning on Bureau of Land Management lands. Mesa County Sheriff’s Office, Glade Park ***** and Colorado Department of ***** Prevention and Control assisted with the *****.
