#DerbyFire #EagleCounty #GarfieldCounty
Adam Johnson, Reporter
Aug 24 at 10:18 PM EDTAs of late afternoon on Sunday, August 24, 2025, the Derby Fire is 5,346 acres in size, with 0% containment and 648 personnel. Firefighters were able to conduct a successful burnout operation in the Horse Creek Drainage on the southern side of the fire before the afternoon rain. Line construction continued along the southwest and southeast edges of the fire.
Firefighters had strong support from aerial resources today, working with both retardant and water drops. Two military modular air firefighting systems (MAFFs) and supporting personnel arrived to assist with retardant drops. Aircraft aiding firefighting operations included four single-engine airtankers (SEATs), one large air tanker (LAT), two heavy helicopters, and a helicopter flying reconnaissance missions which also retrieved firefighters dropped off to tackle spot fires. Two air attack planes coordinated retardant and water bucket drops, a lead plane guided the large tankers, and two Type 3 helicopters acted as communications repeaters.
The fire received widespread rain with heavier amounts in some areas. However, rain may not have penetrated denser tree canopies, per Derby Fire Colorado.

Aug 23 at 2:55 PM EDTCurrent Status: Outflow winds have begun to push the Derby Fire south towards the Sweetwater Canyon area. Crews have worked to protect over 350 structures by positioning sprinkler kits and removing surrounding fuels. Other firefighters have constructed about 3 total miles of dozer and hand lines along the fire’s southern perimeter using existing roads to connect them and form control lines. Aircraft are supporting firefighting efforts by dropping water and flame retardant along the west flank. The Forest Service is investigating an accident that took place on Friday involving a helicopter assigned to the Derby Fire. The pilot was checked by local medical personnel and is reported to be in good condition with only minor injuries. Incident managers held a community meeting Friday evening to engage the public and answer questions. The Colorado River Rd. closure has been extended south, from the Dotsero roundabout’s north side to Red Dirt Rd.
