Goltra Fire burning in Jefferson County

The Goltra Fire is burning in Jefferson County approximately 1 mile west of Golden. The fire is estimated at 200 acres as of Wednesday morning. 

Purple Air sensors downwind of the fire show elevated particulate concentrations this morning. Light smoke and hazy skies are possible in Golden and north Denver throughout Wednesday. Visit CDPHE's website for information on how to protect your health during periods of wildfire smoke. 

Rain and high relative humidity are expected Wednesday which could aid firefighting efforts, and limit air quality impacts.

CDPHE is monitoring the situation and will issue an Air Quality Health Advisory if necessary.
