FEMA Region 8 Acting Administrator Katherine Fox approved the state’s request for a federal Fire Management Assistance Grant (FMAG) after receiving the request this afternoon and determining that the fire threatened such destruction that it would constitute a major disaster.
At the time of the request, the fire was threatening 90 primary homes and 10 secondary homes in addition to other buildings, infrastructure, utilities, equipment and multiple watersheds in the area. Evacuations are taking place for approximately 100 homes. The fire started on August 13, 2025 and has burned more than 34,000 acres of state and private land and is zero-percent contained.
