The Rumble in the Rockies promises high stakes in Colorado's Week 8 clash with Utah. Here’s everything CU fans need to know for the matchup.
Four of the five wildfires burning in Colorado have together consumed more than 19,300 acres, according to fire officials. How much Colorado land the fifth has burned is unknown.
The nearly 13,000-acre wildfire burning in eastern Utah crossed the Colorado border Monday night, joining four other fires already burning on the Western Slope, fire officials said.
“Several other wildfires are still active in Colorado, including the Sowbelly Fire in the Dominguez-Escalante National Conservation Area, the South Rim Fire in Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park and wildfires in Mesa County,” the outlet reported.
The Utah Mammoth will start the season on the road. Here's why Benson Boone is partially to blame for the delay at Delta Center.
The fires varied in size but have already forced several evacuations and pre-evacuation notices, closed a national park, and the Deer Creek Fire near the Utah state line has already destroyed at least five buildings.
Heavy winds that swept through Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park on Sunday night started “rapid fire spread” after a relatively slow day of growth, according to fire officials.
Crews are fighting five western slope blazes, including one at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. See the latest map of the Colorado fires.
