FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Up to 200 additional firefighters were called in on Tuesday to reinforce the 400 already present, battling to contain the blaze northwest of the state capital city of Denver, and forcing scores of evacuations.
“Four hundred ground and engine crews are fighting the fire. We expect to have 500-600 working by the end of tomorrow,” Sheriff Justin Smith said.
Authorities have confirmed the death of a 62-year-old woman, Linda Steadman, who had been reported missing and whose remains were found in the ashes of her burned-out home.
Officials have ordered residents living along several roads in the region to evacuate and many more were warned that they might have to flee. An evacuation center has been set up at Laporte middle school.
The blaze, dubbed the High Park Fire, remains zero percent contained and has spread to cover 41,140 acres by late Tuesday, compared to 39,000 acres in the morning, and more than double the night before.
The wildfire started on early Saturday morning near Fort Collins — about 100 kilometers northwest of Denver — covering 8,000 acres by mid-evening.
The blaze has been designated ‘Type One,’ the highest firefighting priority. The cause of the wildfire is believed to have been started by lightning.
This comes while lightning in southern New Mexico’s Lincoln National Forest sparked a fire on Friday, expanding to 34,500 acres and destroying 35 structures by Tuesday.
