Watch: Thousands forced to evacuate as wildfire rages across Colorado

Wild winds fueled a fast-moving wildfire southwest of Denver, forcing thousands to evacuate and destroying over 160 structures. The Aspen Acres fire, now spanning 115 square miles, remains uncontained, with firefighters battling the blaze. Meanwhile, other large fires rage across the western US, exacerbated by dry conditions. Tragically, three helitack crew members lost their lives fighting the Snyder Fire in Colorado.
