The Waldo Canyon wildfire continues to burn through the Colorado Springs, Colo., area, covering a heartbreaking 6,200 acres. The fire is 5 percent contained and officials are now estimating containment will occur in mid-July.
Tweets are still coming in from the ground that express exactly how bad things have gotten. It isn’t looking good.
Consider staying w/ friends & familes well east and south of evacuation areas if an option for you. shelters will be busy. #waldocanyonfire
