More than 32,000 people have fled a residential area of Colorado’s second largest city on Wednesday, June 27, because of a massive wildfire. Starting in Waldo Canyon on Saturday, the fire has destroyed over 6,000 hectares. It doubled its size overnight and lit surrounding mountains. “This is a firestorm of epic proportions,” Colorado Springs fire chief Rich Brown told a press conference late Tuesday. Turbulent winds prompted evacuations of over 30,000 residents, with more people ordered to leave Wednesday. No deaths or injuries have been reported, but devastation has been described as “pretty intense.” It was unclear what sparked the fire but officials declared it was not caused by lightning.
