Draw Fire Still Contained, Surpasses 1000 Acres

US Forest Service

The Draw Fire eight miles northeast of Dolores has grown to just over a thousand acres but is staying within containment lines. The lightning-sparked blaze, which began last week, is burning on the San Juan National Forest. Dolores District Fire Management Officer Patrick Seekins said in a release that crews might burn the remaining unburned section within the containment boundary on Monday.
