A wildfire so far has consumed more than 200 acres and at least two structures near Nederland as firefighters are set to battle high temperatures and winds Sunday in an effort to try and contain the blaze.

The fire — which was officially named the Cold Springs Fire by county officials — was first reported about 1:30 p.m. Saturday on Colo. 119 at Cold Springs Road and the Peak to Peak Highway.

The size of the area affected by the fire was estimated to be about 226 acres and destroyed two structures, but Mike Smith, the incident commander, said that there were “likely more” structures that were lost.

Officials have not said if the two structures that were lost in the fire were homes.

Smith said that as of 9 p.m. Saturday, firefighters had zero containment on the fire and were looking at “non-favorable” conditions Sunday, with the National Weather Service calling for a high of 84 and gusts of up to 18 mph in the Nederland area.

“We’re very concerned about that,” Smith said.

Smith said the cause of the fire remains under investigation. He said that no injuries have been reported at this time.

Mandatory evacuations east from the Peak to Peak Highway on both sides of Ridge Road were initiated, and Boulder County sheriff’s Cmdr. Mike Wagner said that almost 1,000 people have been affected by the evacuations and that 490 parcels in the evacuation area had some sort of structure on them.

Resident Lee Kennedy was evacuated from her home on Ridge Road, but got a glimpse of the fire before she left.

“We went outside and looked and saw an inferno in the sky,” Kennedy said.

Three aircraft were deployed to fight the fire, and 150 firefighters and 50 law enforcement officials have responded to the call.

Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle has issued a fire ban in unincorporated Boulder County due to the resources being sent to the fire, and a local disaster declaration was also issued to make more resources available to fight the fire.

Additionally, the Boulder Peak Triathlon has been cancelled.

The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office has opened the emergency operations center to assist Nederland. Wagner said evacuees were being sent to Nederland High School, 597 Eldora Road. The Gilpin County Fairgrounds and recreation center were also open to evacuees.

Pets are allowed at the evacuation center, but evacuated pets were also being taken to the Humane Society of Boulder Valley while livestock was being taken to the Boulder County Fairgrounds.

“We are advising anyone who is in Nederland and does not live here to go home,” Nederland Town Manager Alisha Reis said.

Xcel Energy’s website showed about 1,800 people were without power in the Nederland area at one point, though Boulder County officials said that number was down to about 500 as of Saturday night.

Silver Point to the Peak to Peak Highway, Sugarloaf Road from Peak to Peak Highway, Cold Springs Road, Ridge Road, Conifer Road, Thunder Ridge South Road, Cougar Road, Shady Hollow Road, Switzerland Park Upham Gulch and Wolfetongue have all been closed due to the fire.

Because of the resources devoted to fighting the fire, race organizers have also cancelled Sunday’s Boulder Peak Triathlon.

“All police, fire and EMS resources are being mobilized and reallocated across Nederland and Cold Springs in support of the current wildfire,” the email read. “As a result, the Boulder County Public Safety officials have mandated that our event be cancelled. After exhausting all options, including course modifications and rescheduling options, we are unable to provide our athletes with either an alternate event or a safe race experience.”
