Aided by fire retardant- and water-laden aircraft, about 50 firefighters worked Monday to keep the 4,000-acre Box Canyon Fire from spreading outside its remote, steep and rugged perimeter in Summit County. The human-caused, four-week-old blaze continued to consume conifer, aspen and fallen dead timber about 12 miles east of Oakley, and it began Monday at 20 percent containment.
