Wind-driven wildfire forces Bailey evacuations in Colorado
A wind whipped grass and brush fire scorched 800 acres in Park County and prompted evacuations of hundreds of homes in Bailey. One person suffered smoke inhalation and a firefighter a sprained ankle. FEMA agreed to cover much of labor and equipment costs, and two area schools closed. Officers warned of gusts up to 30 mph as helicopters and air tankers dropped retardant. The Red Cross opened a shelter, and Gov. Owens requested a drought emergency with $450,000 released. A separate Cache le Poudre fire flared, with about 40 firefighters tackling a 10-acre blaze aimed to be contained soon.
