Stone Canyon Fire, north of Lyons, grows to 1,320 acres with 0 percent contained. Two structures have been lost in the fire, Boulder emergency managers said.

The Quarry Fire has burned about 100 acres in the area of Deer Creek Canyon Road just west of Grizzly Drive. Firefighters from multiple agencies are responding. A sheriff’s deputy patrolling a Jeffco open space in the area spotted the fire around 9 p.m. Still showing 0 percent contained and growing. As of the 7 a.m. press conference, first responders were not aware of any structures lost or injuries due to the fire.
