DENVER (KDVR) — Several fires are burning across western Colorado, with some at historic sizes and other causing evacuations of Western Slope towns.
The Lee Fire in Rio Blanco County near Meeker grew Sunday to become the 5th largest wildfire in Colorado history, while fires in Archuleta and Moffat counties prompted evacuations of several towns.
More than 1,000 personnel are working on the fires, and Gov. Jared Polis has declared disaster emergencies for several of the fires.
