A wildfire burning in Rio Blanco County has scorched more than 14,000 acres, fire officials said Tuesday. The Lee fire, which has since absorbed the Grease fire that also started near Meeker, was last mapped at 14,426 acres, fire officials said.

The wildfire was mapped at 107 acres. It burned north of Panorama Drive, and below the Ranch at Coulter Creek Subdivision. When crews arrived at 11:04 a.m. on Sunday, they found an active fire burning in grass, pinyon, juniper and sage moving at a fast rate of speed.
