BEAVER COUNTY -- Interstate 70 is back open Tuesday morning after being closed for the second time due to the Twitchell Canyon fire.

Nearly 500 firefighters are fighting the blaze, which has grown to 30,000 acres in Fishlake National Forest. Lightning sparked the fire, and officials allowed it to burn for resource management.

Authorities say right now, no structures are at risk. However, the Castle Rock Campground remains closed.
