Teams keep up fight against Gold Mountain Fire, Elk Fire as areas near Lake City told to 'get ready' for evacuation A new incident management team has taken over the Gold Mountain Fire and spent Monday getting up to speed on operations and strategies to date. The fire, burning since June 27, began in Ouray County and has spread into neighboring counties, including parts of Montrose County, as well as Hinsdale and Gunnison counties. Evacuation orders and alerts remain in effect for parts of the fire area. The Gold Mountain Fire has chewed through 36,955 acres, as of the latest mapping Monday night. The 981 people fighting the fire have achieved 12% containment.

Some business owners have shared with me how they have become frustrated with the culture of these DART-arian members.” In the final budget approved by city council, DART was supposed to receive more than $270,000 for a “professional services contract” line item that funds grants for building and small business owners — think facade improvements, murals and emergency commercial kitchen repair grants — as well as artists and performers at various DART events.
