LAKE COUNTY, Colo. — A newly released flyover video of the Interlaken Fire shows the success of the firefighting effort around the historic structures in the Twin Lakes area.

The fire was first reported on Tuesday and had grown to 592 acres as of Saturday morning. It originated from an abandoned campfire about 60 yards from the Interlaken trail in Lake County, according the US Forest Service. According to a news release, firefighters will continue to improve and secure these lines, and helicopters will bring “sling loads” of water pumps and hoses to assist with those efforts.
