The fire started in the county on Bear Peak and is burning 1 1/2 miles from city limits on the west side of the Flatirons. On Wednesday, two hand crews will work the southwest side of the Flagstaff Fire to build fire lines while a total of seven aircraft manage and fight the flames from above. A total of 32 agencies and 250 people are involved.
