The Lee Fire , the largest of several wildfires in northwestern Colorado, grew to over 100,000 acres overnight, prompting new evacuations, state fire officials said. On the plus side, fire crews have made some gains in containing the fire, going from 0% to 6% containment.

The fire grew from over 88,000 acres to over 92,000 acres throughout the day on Saturday with no containment. By Sunday morning, federal fire maps showed the Lee Fire at 106,672 acres as of about 8:30 a.m. Weather conditions are expected to help the fire grow on Sunday, according to the Rio Blanco Sheriff's Office.

The Lee Fire is now the sixth-largest single fire in the state's history, according to the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control.
