A wildfire burning in Fremont County is 80% contained as of Wednesday night.

Firefighters are working to fully contain the estimated 200 acre Ferguson Fire located approximately 35 miles southwest of Canon City.

The fire is suspected to be human caused and is currently under investigation by the Fremont County Sheriff Department. The fire started on private property and then spread on to BLM public lands.

Approximately 150 firefighters are on scene.

Fire officials warn the public could continue to see smoke because of the clear and warm weather.
