FORT COLLINS, COLO. -- The Galena Fire in Fort Collins has now burned an estimated one-thousand acres.

Larimer County Sheriff's officials have said the fire was manmade.

The fire erupted Friday near the entrance to Lory State Park.

Fire officials said the wet weather prevented the fire from growing much on Sunday.

The fire was reported to be 75 percent contained on Monday.

No injuries nor damage have been reported.
