Containment of the spring fire in southern Colorado is now at 70-percent. Nearly two-thousand firefighters are battling the blaze both on the ground and through the air.
The flames have grown to over 107-thousand acres in Huerfano and Costilla counties and is the third-largest wildfire in Colorado’s recorded history.
Residents of the Raspberry Mountain, piney ridge, pine haven, highway 12, and Cuchara areas were allowed to re-enter their homes and properties on Monday but will remain on pre-evacuation status.
Sadly, at least 132 homes have been destroyed since this fire began in late June.
