A small wildfire that sparked just west of Boulder's Lee Hill area was fully contained by late afternoon, according to a post from fire officials just after 4:30 p.m.
The fire burned two-tenths of an acre, and crews will remain on scene to eliminate any hot spots, Boulder Fire Rescue officials said in the post.
BFR first announced that crews were fighting the small wildfire around 3:50 p.m.
"Crews have made good progress with the small wildfire and have significantly reduced the fire’s intensity and rate of spread," BFR officials wrote in a 4:14 p.m. update.
Fire officials asked the public to avoid the area, and Boulder police posted that Linden Avenue would be closed at Broadway Street.
Officials have not said what they believe sparked the fire.
This is a developing story that may be updated.
