The initial fire was 6-8 acres but high winds and dry conditions made the fire fast-moving. Two cabins located near the blaze had to be evacuated but the structures remain intact as local fire crews were able to control the flames, Grand Valley Fire Protection District Deputy Chief Chris Jackson said.
The fire continued to move west-northwest on Wednesday.
