Hammer Fire The Hammer Fire southeast of Colorado Springs near Hanover has burned approximately 4,900 acres. Evacuation orders and pre-evacuation notices were issued yesterday but have now been lifted as the fire reaches 60% containment. All shelters are closed and it’s safe for residents to return. Huge thanks to our brave firefighters and first responders working under tough, windy conditions. Stay vigilant — high fire danger and red flag warnings continue across much of Colorado.
