Wind shift slows Colorado wildfire at Mesa Verde park
A wind shift and sparser vegetation slowed a 22,000 acre Mesa Verde National Park blaze that threatened cliff dwellings and archaeological sites. About 700 firefighters worked in 90 plus degree heat to contain the fire, now roughly 15 percent controlled. Archaeologists and firefighters collaborate to shield ancestral Pueblo ruins as lightning sparked the blaze and forced evacuations.
