And firefighters in Colorado have their own hotbed, as they try to save dozens of homes. Up to 100 homes could be in danger. As Terisa Estacio reports, dry conditions and high winds are making it tough for firefighters. This one is just 12 miles southwest of Boulder. More than 200 families so far have been forced to evacuate.
Winds are the biggest problem for crews right now.
Some neighbors returned to chop trees. They hoped to help crews protect their homes by clearing out dry vegetation. From the air, thick smoke spread for miles. Two other fires are also burning in Colorado scorching more than 10 thousand acres. Fire officials are hoping cool damp weather predicted will bring relief, but until then the battle wages on.
