COLORADO, USA — Despite some significant snowfall in the areas where several major wildfires are burning, it won't be enough to bring an end to Colorado's historic wildfire season just yet.
Increased containment has been reported for the wildfires that continue to burn across Colorado. While there has been no new recent major growth, as a dry weather pattern continues.
This year's fire season has had three of the largest-recorded wildfires in Colorado's history and has led to the evacuation of hundreds of homes and damage to numerous structures everywhere from far northern Colorado to the Western Slope and now to Boulder County. Hundreds of homes have been destroyed.
At times, the smoke has led to poor air quality along the Front Range. Click here for the latest air quality alerts.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that it is closing all National Forest land in Clear Creek, Jefferson, Gilpin, Boulder and Larimer counties due to "unprecedented and historic fire conditions."
Those closures will be evaluated based on conditions in the coming days.
Rocky Mountain National Park is also closed to the public until further notice.
Below is a roundup of all of the wildfires currently burning in Colorado and a look at the latest coverage from 9NEWS.
