An EC Alert sent at approximately noon on Saturday alerted residents of a wildland fire that ignited in the area of 955 Ute Creek Road in Wolcott, the address of Vail Honeywagon’s service site. A 12:30 p.m. Facebook post from Eagle County Sheriff’s Office noted that one structure was threatened. Multiple fire trucks and a helicopter were on-scene in response to the incident.
The sheriff’s office added that Landfill Road is now open, though the landfill will be closed for the weekend.
