Five active wildfires — the Lee, Elk, Oak, Stoner Mesa and Crosho fires — have charred more than 142,000 acres, or 222 square miles, on the Western Slope in recent days.

Mandatory evacuations have been ordered for Aspen Springs, the Elk Park subdivision and homes off Ironwood Drive.

Mandatory evacuations were issued Sunday near Pagosa Springs after a structure fire led to an “out of control” wildfire.
