In Colorado, the state’s two largest fires on record, the Cameron Peak and the East Troublesome Fires, continue to rage as scientists warn such events will become more common due to climate change-induced heat waves and droughts. Together, the two fires have burned over 400,000 acres so far, but authorities say weekend snowfall has helped slow their progression. An elderly couple was killed by the East Troublesome blazes last week after refusing evacuation orders.
