Residents of the 463 homes in the Peak 7 neighborhood near the Peak 2 Fire north of Breckenridge, Colorado were able to return to their homes Friday night for the first time since the fire started July 5. The fire has burned 74 to 84 acres, about the size of an 18-hole golf course, but no one would ever build a golf course on terrain this steep (see map above).
Todd Pechota’s Type 1 Incident Management Team assumed command at 6 a.m. Friday.
The resources assigned to the fire include 8 hand crews, 15 engines, and 8 helicopters for a total of 362 personnel.
