LAKE COUNTY, Colo. — The Interlaken Wildfire burning near Twin Lakes is at 578 acres and 0% containment as of Thursday afternoon, according to the U.S. Forest Service’s latest assessment.
Colorado's Division of Fire Prevention and Control said the Pike San Isabel National Forest, which is in command of the fire, ordered multiple aviation resources, including an Air Attack, a Very Large Air Tanker , two Large Air Tankers , a Type 1 helicopter and a Type 2 helicopter.
A spokesperson for Colorado's Division of Fire Prevention and Control told Denver7 closer available resources were dispatched for The Interlaken Fire, adding,"Training is the number one priority for this new asset, but is available for initial attack on a case-by-case basis." "In a moments notice, this helitack crew can be in the air, whether you're talking open space in rural Douglas County, US Forest Service property, or in a greenbelt in the middle of Highlands Ranch," said Douglas County Sheriff Darren Weekly.
