1 Killed, Homes Destroyed as Colorado Wildfire Rages

HeadlineJun 29, 2012

The worst wildfire in Colorado history is continuing to rage after killing at least one person and destroying hundreds of homes. Officials said Thursday an estimated 346 homes had been incinerated, and at least one body had been found in a destroyed house after tens of thousands of people were evacuated from the Colorado Springs area over the last few days. The Waldo Canyon wildfire has been fueled by scorching temperatures and high winds, but lighter winds Thursday aided firefighters battling the blaze. Dozens of other massive wildfires were also being fought across the country.
