The Ferris Fire in Colorado has reached a stage where all evacuations have been lifted, according to InciWeb records updated July 23, 2026. The fire, burning 15 miles northwest of Dolores on San Juan National Forest and other lands, was caused by lightning and has been driven by extreme weather conditions.

Fire crews are now focused on suppression repair work, including road repairs, naturalizing dozer lines, and removing equipment. The San Juan National Forest and Bureau of Land Management maintain fire area closures and emergency land closures despite the lifting of evacuations.
