The Menkhaven Fire burning in Conejos County is now 50% contained.
The fire, which was first reported on Saturday around 3:15 p.m., has burned 242 acres approximately 7 miles northwest of Fox Creek in the Menkhaven subdivision along the Conejos River, according to a spokesperson for the Rio Grande National Forest.
Highway 17 had to close nine miles south of Antonito up to mile point 28 near Cumbres Pass on Saturday, but it was reopened to two-way traffic by 9 p.m. Monday. The road will be down to one-lane traffic on Tuesday to help with roadside fire suppression activities, which could be in place for a few days, forest officials said.
Strong winds in the fire area elevated safety concerns for ground crews on Monday, but they were still able to strengthen the control features on the fire, as well as significantly increase containment. New spot fires were also detected Monday, and crews are working to contain those as well. Aerial resources were being released Monday evening.
