Follow some of the Facebook groups about Colorado hiking. The Colorado 14er’s and Colorado trail is good. They always posting fire information quickly. Pay attention to signs at trailheads and boundaries. The forest service is quick to close trails and put out information from what I have seen hiking there.
As far as what to do if a fire has started really close I’m not sure. Get off trail ASAP or carry a Delorme or other sos device. You most likely can’t outrun a fire so stay vigilant and on the lookout.
I do know hiking in the smoke sucks. Kills the views and gets tough to breath. Even fires 400 miles away can kill visibility. I would consider changing trails if it’s that bad.
