Homes evacuated as wind drives Colorado wildfire

IDAHO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Evacuations were ordered for about two dozen homes in a central Colorado mountain community as fire crews battle a wind-driven blaze. The fire on Sunday began as a structure fire, destroying a vacant cabin and another unoccupied structure, Clear Creek County Undersheriff Bruce Snelling told station KKTV. Significant smoke was visible from I-70. The undersheriff says about two dozen homes in the area were evacuated. An evacuation center was up at the local school district office.
