KREMMLING, Colo. (CBS4) - The Dice Hill Fire burning in Summit County is 100% contained. The fire erupted Monday on BLM lands and has burned 27 acres.

"We're really pleased with the quick response and progress made on this fire; and owe our sincerest gratitude for its success to interagency cooperation with our local, county, state, and federal partners. We couldn't do it alone," said Kremmling Field Manager Bill Mills, agency administrator for the Dice Hill Fire, in a statement.
