Fire Ravages Homes, Community Steps In | Denver News

A wildfire still raging across southern Colorado has destroyed over 260 homes and burned nearly 91,000 acres—just 13% contained. Brutal winds whipped through the area, turning a construction site into ash in seconds, as captured by a homeowner’s Ring camera. For Coza Mendoza and her partner, the fire wiped out their rented home just days after welcoming their 13-year-old nephew, Chris, into their family. Now, amid the rubble, the community rallies—donations pour in, temporary housing is found, and Chris receives donated clothes. Though the loss is devastating, the outpouring of support offers hope as they rebuild, one step at a time. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
