Additionally, the interstate has low to no visibility due to smoke in the area of I-70 west of I-135. Avoid the interstate and take an alternate route if you must travel. Air support is en route to the area.

A fire that started on the south side of I-70 between Muir and Headville Road has crossed the interstate and is now burning north toward Culver, prompting the evacuation.
