Bear Creek Fire 2023
Started: Aug 7
1,093 acre
Wildfire
Bear Creek Fire has burned 1,093 acres, burning 24 miles northwest of Pagosa Springs.
Latest update
The Bear Creek Fire is located on the San Juan National Forest, Pagosa Ranger District approximately 2.5 miles west of the Weminuche Valley. The trail closure was lifted on 11-9-23.
Firefighters have been unable to directly engage the Bear Creek fire due to the steep remote terrain and heavy fuel loading of dead standing and down trees. Fire managers developed a strategic plan to suppress the Bear Creek fire, taking into consideration the risk posed to responders. Rain and snow have slowed the fire’s growth, but the fire continues to smolder and produce smoke from within the perimeter of the fireline. This InciWeb page will not be updated again unless significant changes occur.
