Wildfires Rage Across Colorado | Denver News

Wildfires rage across Colorado, with the Aspen Acres fire now at 96,000 acres and just 15% contained, driven by winds that threatened Wetmore and Greenwood—until rain and a wind shift brought some relief. Meanwhile, the Ferris Fire near Dolores exploded by 6,000 acres in 24 hours, now at 57,000 acres and 19% contained, racing through the Dolores River Canyon and endangering vital grazing land. On the brighter side, the Gold Mountain Fire near Ouray is slowing thanks to humidity and light rain, with containment jumping to 8% as nearly 1,000 firefighters battle it near Highway 550. The Willow Fire in the Mount Massive Wilderness struggles with steep, inaccessible terrain, forcing crews to build containment lines from a distance. Evacuations remain in place across multiple counties as firefighters face an ever-changing, dangerous landscape. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
