The Colorado Springs wildfire is still raging, and has destroyed an estimated 346 homes so far, making it the most destructive fire in the State's history, and one of the worst fires to hit the American West. The fire is now 10% contained, but has cost an estimated $3.2 million to fight.
Some may have also heard of the fire in Northern Colorado, which started a couple weeks ago, killing one person. It has decimated 257 homes, and up until Tuesday (when the Colorado Springs fire surpassed it), was the most destructive State fire thus far. Firefighters are hoping to have the 136-square-mile fire contained by this weekend (it is currently at the 75% mark).
There are also quite a few other wildfires in Colorado at this time, so please continue to pray for all those affected.
