Chinanews, October 20th, a comprehensive report, Colorado firefighters, on the 19th, struggled to put out the worst wildfire in local history.
The wildfire has deteriorated rapidly in the past few days, with smoke drifting through the densely populated areas of Colorado, where the drought is severe.
On October 16, local time, the wildfire on Cameron Peak in Colorado, U.S., taken by satellite image.
The police department said that new wildfires continued to erupt, including the fire on Polder Mountain, which had affected approximately 8,800 acres of land and burned at least 26 houses.
The latest data from the United States Drought Monitoring Center show that the entire state of Colorado is facing some degree of drought, and officials say this is one of the reasons for the wildfires.
Rocky Mountain Coordination Center spokesperson Helmerrick said that the Rocky Mountain has rarely seen thunder and lightning recently, so it is believed that most wildfires are man-made, and extremely dry forests and strong winds exacerbate the rapid spread of wildfires.
Helmerick said that of the 12,000 field firefighters in the United States, more than 3,000 are extinguishing fire in Colorado and Wyoming.
The largest fire among the Colorado wildfires is the Cameron Peak Fire, which has burned more than 200,000 acres of land in the Arapahoe and Roosevelt National Forests since it caught fire in mid-August.
According to the fire tracking website InciWeb, 62% of its fires have been brought under control.
Wildfire managers estimate that more than 50 buildings were destroyed in the Cameron Peak fire, another 50,000 buildings were threatened, and nearly 13,000 people were evacuated.
