Fire control expected today; U.S. 36 re-opened

8:55 a.m. Firefighters are gaining ground on the fire burning north of Boulder. U.S. 36 -- which had been closed since Wednesday afternoon -- is now open to traffic, Sheriff Joe Pelle announced at an 8:30 a.m. press conference this morning.

"This fire is rapidly becoming more controlled," he said. "We're very optimistic we'll have this controlled by the end of the day as long as the wind doesn't pick up."

Evacuation orders have been lifted for homes east of U.S. 36, including the Lake Valley and North Rim subdivisions. Areas west of the highway are still closed, including the Crestview neighborhood.
