Four wildfires burning in western Colorado have consumed more than 250 square miles, threatened hundreds of homes and forced evacuations, fire officials said.

Fire crews have started getting a handle on the Lee Fire just as its size approaches the 4th largest wildfire in Colorado history.

The largest of several wildfires in northwestern Colorado grew to over 100,000 acres overnight, prompting new evacuations. Fire crews have made some gains in containing the fire, however, going from 0% to 6% containment.
