Smoke may continue to be visible from the area and from Highway 9 at times as pockets of vegetation from within the fire perimeter burn. This is typical following containment and firefighters will take action if needed.

The White River National Forest and Bureau of Land Management have lifted the closures for the Dice Hill and upper Spring Creek Road areas. The area burned by the fire remains closed.

The Grand County and Summit County sheriff offices have lifted all evacuation and pre-evacuation notices related to the Deep Creek Fire.

The fire ignited about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday. It was human-caused and is under investigation.
