Five Wildfires Rage Across Colorado | Denver News

Five wildfires rage across Colorado, torching nearly 95,000 acres and destroying over 100 homes as firefighters battle brutal winds, heat, and terrain. The Aspen Acres blaze, whipped by 100 mph gusts, has burned 28,000 acres and triggered fresh evacuations, while the state’s largest fire, Snyder, has consumed 30,000 acres and claimed three firefighter lives. Mandatory evacuations are in place for Beulah, Rye, and near Ouray—residents must leave immediately as conditions escalate. Though containment efforts are underway, the outlook remains dire with worsening weather and limited access. Causes are still under investigation, but safety of residents and crews remains the top priority.
