YUMA COUNTY, Colo. — Fire officials said Thursday that all wildfires sparked during a powerful wind event earlier this week in Yuma County have been fully contained, bringing an end to a fast-moving incident that burned more than 14,000 acres across rural northeast Colorado.

According to the Yuma County Office of Emergency Management, the fire south of Eckley — previously referred to as Fire 33 — has been contained. In total, officials estimate approximately 14,050 acres burned across multiple fires ignited during Wednesday night’s extreme wind conditions.

Emergency officials said the fire hazard from the wind event has been lifted, though crews will continue monitoring burned areas for potential flare-ups or renewed fire activity.

Damage assessments are ongoing, and officials reported no serious injuries associated with the fires. Residents who experienced damage or loss to structures or livestock are encouraged to report impacts to Yuma County Emergency Manager Jake Rockwell at jrockwell@yumacountyco.gov.

The fires ignited Wednesday evening amid wind gusts approaching 70 mph, low humidity and blowing dust, conditions that prompted Red Flag Warnings and evacuation orders across portions of the county. Earlier assessments confirmed three separate fires, including the large blaze south of Eckley and smaller fires near County Road L and County Road 44.

Firefighting efforts were complicated by limited water infrastructure in the county, requiring water to be hauled or pumped from wells. Local fire departments, neighboring agencies and area farmers assisted by transporting water and constructing firebreaks.

Yuma County officials thanked emergency responders, utility crews, agricultural partners and residents for their cooperation during the incident. Power restoration efforts and cleanup operations continued Thursday as conditions improved.
