DENVER (KDVR) — Officials are evacuating the Black Canyon of the Gunnison park, including all visitors and staff, due to two fires in the park.

The Gunnison County Sheriff’s Office told FOX31 that as of 3 p.m. on Thursday, three fires were burning in Montrose County, likely caused by lightning from a storm that moved through overnight.

The fires were burning on both rims of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, prompting a full closure of the park and evacuations of everyone inside the park.

Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control is responding to a fire on the north rim of the canyon, located in southwest Colorado in Montrose County. The Colorado State Patrol is also assisting in the evacuations of the campgrounds in the area.

The Division of Fire Prevention and Control initially said that there are two fires burning, one on the north rim and one near the south entrance of the Canyon.

The U.S. National Park Service said that high temperatures, low humidity, gusty winds and very dry vegetation has led to extreme fire danger at Black Canyon, and the county is currently in a Stage 1 Fire restriction.

Colorado’s Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management is supporting local emergency management for the fires.
