The Beaver Tail Mesa fire, burning high on a cliff along Interstate 70 on the Western Slope, is “in check,” according to the Bureau of Land Management.
On Thursday, the fire billowed a plume of dark smoke, but on Friday the smoke cleared as 60 firefighters continue to work on the burn northeast of James M. Robb Colorado River State Park-Island Acres.
Two helicopters and two wildland fire engines were used Friday to douse the fire, along with two hand crews and eight smoke jumpers, Coulter said.
