U.S. 6 is closed through Clear Creek Canyon.
Golden Gate Canyon Fire, Fairmount Fire and Golden Fire are battling the blaze. Handcrews are working in the mostly rocky terrain. Sheriff’s spokeswoman Jacki Kelley said says firefighters have to hike to the area to fight the flames. Officials requested a single-engine air tanker to help fight the flames, but it’s unavailable due to mechanical issues.
The Mountain Ridge subdivision is on standby for evacuations. A reverse 911 was called to residences in the area to alert them of the fire. Most of those homes are in the Canyon Point Circle off Highway 93.

Indian Gulch Wildfire Grows To More Than 700 Acres
March 21, 2011 12:30 PM
GOLDEN, Colo. (AP/CBS) – The Indian Gulch Fire burning in the foothills west of Golden has grown to over 700 acres as the fire danger in many parts of Colorado remains high.
The fire started Sunday and quickly grew in warm, dry conditions. The fire was 15 percent contained Monday, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department.
“Increased winds have been a challenge on the north flank of the fire, towards Golden Gate Canyon Road. Wind gusts of 35 mph forced crews to pull back into safety zones. The crews are re-engaging as conditions permit,” Jefferson County sheriff’s officials said in a prepared statement just after noon.
Firefighters are having some success containing the blaze on the east side and preventing it from moving into the Mountain Ridge subdivision, which contains about 250 homes. People there have been warned to be ready to evacuate in case the fire spreads.
