The Fern Lake Fire, burning in Rocky Mountain National Park southwest of Estes Park, sparked up on Saturday because of warm, dry weather, fire officials said.
The fire, which started on Oct. 9, is up to about 670 acres, said Ranger Julie Johndreau, a fire spokeswoman.
The fire, which is burning in a steep, rugged canyon with heavy beetle-kill laced throughout the timber, increased by about 40 acres on Saturday.
About 50 people are fighting the blaze and a helicopter was used for reconnaissance on Saturday.
Fire officials are keeping a close eye on the fire as the weather forecast calls for continued dry weather on Sunday.
Additional information about this fire can be found at www.inciweb.org, or by calling 970-586-1381. New information will be released as it becomes available.
