All 2026 El Paso County Fires · 2 fires
A fire is listed here when it is located in El Paso County. Each complex is counted once, through its parent: the parent carries the complex's acres, and its member fires are listed beneath it without being counted again. A fire that crossed a county line is listed with the acres that burned in El Paso County, not its whole reported size. A fire located elsewhere that burned into El Paso County is listed too, at its El Paso County acres, and is not added to the El Paso County fire counts. County lines come from a different boundary dataset than state lines, so El Paso County's acres are counted along county lines and can differ a little at the edges from the figures on the state page.
