US authorities: 1,000 homes evacuated in Colorado fire

Published: 09.07.10, 08:22 / Israel News

A wind-driven wildfire in the rugged Colorado foothills spread across 5 1/2 square miles (14 square kilometers) Monday, destroying an unknown number of homes and triggering the evacuation of 1,000 others, authorities said.

 

No injuries have been reported. Authorities didn't immediately know how many structures burned in the 3,500-acre (1,400-hectare) blaze. But at least some were houses, including four that belonged to firefighters battling the blaze, said Laura McConnell, a spokeswoman for the fire management team. (AP)
