The BLM also oversees 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate across the nation. It works in partnership with various stakeholders to manage these resources in a sustainable manner. The agency’s work is critical to maintaining the ecological balance of these lands and ensuring their continued availability for public use.

The containment of the Horse Draw Fire is a significant achievement in the BLM’s ongoing efforts to manage and protect public lands. The agency’s work is supported by the Northern Colorado Interagency Dispatch, which provides critical resources and coordination in managing such incidents. The BLM will continue to monitor the situation to prevent any potential flare-ups and ensure the safety and health of the public lands.
