Sorry to hear about your fires. As a resident of southern California, I know what this is like. What is the percentage containment at this point?

Thanks. The percentages contained are mixed as to different fire locations and different media reports. My guess is generally 60 percent contained .


Three major wildfires still raging in the state killed three people, burned dozens of homes and forced the evacuations of more than 1,000 people.

Two firefighters were killed in Ordway when a bridge collapsed as their fire truck crossed it Tuesday afternoon. The men were trapped underneath the rubble.

A slurry pilot was killed in Fort Carson as his single-engine air tanker crashed near the 9,600-acre blaze.

Firefighters are expected to get some help Wednesday afternoon when an approaching storm is expected to blanket the state with rain and snow.
