State halts prescribed burns after Colorado wildfire near Denver
Gov. John Hickenlooper suspended state prescribed burns after a controlled burn may have sparked a 6 square mile wildfire that damaged or destroyed dozens of homes near Denver. Officials say embers crossed a containment line in high winds, prompting a temporary ban on state land fires and a broader request for local and federal agencies to consider suspensions. About 400 firefighters from several states fought the blaze, while hunt crews used dogs for a missing woman whose home was lost among 27 structures.
