COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) - Fire officials reported the Incline Fire was 80 percent contained Saturday.

The Incline Fire was still burning around an acre as of Saturday afternoon.

The Incline, Barr Trail, and every other trail in the area will stay closed until further notice, the El Paso County Sheriff's Office tweeted Saturday.

Investigators are still working to determine whether the fire was caused by arson. They're searching for a person of interest who is a white man in his 40's, wearing a white T-shirt, a gray hoodie, and gray pants.

Crews were called to the Incline Fire Thursday afternoon.

Anyone who saw anything suspicious in the area that day is asked to call the Colorado Springs Police Department.
