episode_narrativeA wildfire erupted in Waldo Canyon, west of Colorado Springs midday June 23rd and was not contained until July 10th. The fire consumed 18,247 acres, most of which was in National Forest land. During the afternoon of June 26th, the wildfire exhibited extreme fire behavior during Red Flag conditions. An outflow boundary from thunderstorms to the northwest, hit the wildfire and drove it down the mountainside into northwest Colorado Springs. Winds gusted to around 65 mph with the fire storm, which consumed 347 structures and took the lives of a husband and wife in one of the houses. At the peak, 32,000 people were evacuated from their houses for a number of days. The President declared Colorado Springs a major disaster area.
