Hundreds of homes burned and tens of thousands of people were evacuated after a rare wind-driven wildfire tore through suburban neighborhoods in Colorado on Thursday, authorities said.
The governor said the state recorded its three largest wildfires in recent history last summer, with each topping 200,000 acres. While some structures burned in those fires, he said, each ignited on wildlands far from suburban neighborhoods.
The section of Boulder County where Thursday's fire broke out is filled with subdivisions and stores, he said. "It’s like the neighborhood you live in," he said. "It’s like the neighborhood that any of us live in. So 1,600 acres near a population center can be — and is, in this case — absolutely devastating."

Colorado wildfires burn hundreds of homes, force evacuationsAn estimated 580 homes, a hotel and a shopping center have burned and tens of thousands of people were evacuated in wind-fueled wildfires outside Denver, officials said Thursday evening.
