The wildfire was fully contained as of mid-afternoon on Wednesday.

EVERGREEN, Colo. — A fire that prompted limited evacuations in Evergreen Wednesday afternoon was quickly contained. 

Evergreen Fire Rescue said around 2:30 p.m. that crews were working the fire in the area of Nob Hill Road and Industrial Way in north central Evergreen. They said around 3 p.m. that the fire was in the "mop up stage" after fully containing it. The fire, which burned less than a quarter of an acre, was declared out at 3:30 p.m. 

The Front Range experienced high fire danger on Wednesday due to gusty winds, warm temperatures and a very dry air mass.
