One has already destroyed more homes than any wildfire in Colorado history. Hurricane-force gusts fanned the flames of the late-season blaze.
The neighboring towns are filled with middle and upper-middle class subdivisions surrounded by shopping centers, parks and schools. The area is in between Denver and Boulder, a foothills college town home to the University of Colorado.
Small fires cropped up here and there in surprising places - on the grass in a median or in a dumpster in the middle of a parking lot - wind gusts caused the fire to jump and spread. Shifting winds caused the skies to turn from clear to smoky and then back again as emergency sirens blared nearby.
