With so many different wildfires burning around Colorado, there's a good chance you haven't heard of Teddy's Peak fire yet.

Teddy's Peak Fire is a 2-acre blaze that sparked on October 21 in southern Colorado in Huerfano County – home to Walsenburg. It's found four miles southwest of Cuchara, Colorado between Bear and Blue Lakes, which are found in the Cuchara River drainage. It is zero percent contained.

While much smaller than Colorado's other wildfires, some suppression efforts were prevented today due to strong winds. As wind speeds climbed, airtankers and helicopters were forced to halt operations that could slow the blaze, as of a 2:25 PM update.
