A new fire burning near the Rifle Fish Hatchery forced evacuations late Sunday night, but several of those orders were lifted overnight.
According to a 1 a.m. Facebook post from the Garfield County Sheriff’s Office, evacuations were lifted for residents below Rifle Falls State Park along state Highway 325, but remain in effect above the Falls.
The original evacuation zone when the fire first broke out around 8:30 p.m. Sunday extended to County Road 226 (Harvey Gap cutoff), the Sheriff’s Office said.
An evacuation site was established at Rifle High School. For updates, follow the GarCo Sheriff’s Office on Facebook.
