All 2025 Rio Blanco County Fires · 4 fires

A fire is listed here when it is located in Rio Blanco 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 Rio Blanco County, not its whole reported size. A fire located elsewhere that burned into Rio Blanco County is listed too, at its Rio Blanco County acres, and is not added to the Rio Blanco County fire counts. County lines come from a different boundary dataset than state lines, so Rio Blanco County's acres are counted along county lines and can differ a little at the edges from the figures on the state page.
