Officials lifted evacuation orders for Campo after the Sharpe Fire crossed from Oklahoma into southeastern Colorado, easing a public-safety measure that had been in place since Sunday.

Baca County emergency officials had ordered mandatory evacuations for Campo and nearby areas on Sunday, May 17, as the fire moved north. By Sunday night, CBS Colorado reported that the evacuation order for Campo had been lifted, although some rural residents near the town were still under evacuation.
