Colorado Wildfire Forces Evacuations and Continues to Grow

A wildfire in Colorado has burned over 1,205 acres of land, forcing the evacuation of 100 homes and putting others on notice. The fire, which started on private land, is being fueled by winds gusting up to 52 mph, making it difficult for air support. The Colorado Department of Public Health and the Environment has issued an air quality alert due to smoke from the fire. The U.S. Forest Service has taken over efforts to suppress the fire, which is classified as "human-caused." No buildings have been burned, and no injuries have been reported.
