Larimer County officials lifted more mandatory evacuations in the Pearl fire burning west of Red Feather Lakes on Wednesday.
The 128-acre wildfire that sparked Monday did not grow Tuesday or Wednesday despite high winds in the area, fire officials said in a Wednesday afternoon briefing. It was still 5% contained as of early Wednesday evening.
“It’s been a tough day. The crews have put in a lot of hard work, but things are looking good for now,” Incident Commander Trainee Ty Gripp said Wednesday.

The Larimer County Sheriff’s Office lifted mandatory evacuation orders for people living south of County Road 86 to Colorado 14. The area is now under a voluntary evacuation warning.
Rough boundaries for the mandatory evacuation zone now include Black Mountain to the north, the intersection of North County Road 73C and Forest Road 187A to the east and Deadman Road to the south and west.
One outbuilding where the fire started was “slightly scorched,” but no other building damage has been reported, Larimer County Sheriff John Feyen said at the Wednesday briefing.
The sheriff’s office is still investigating the human-caused fire, and Feyen declined to release further details about how the fire started.
