Thousands told to evacuate homes again months after devastating wildfire
The Metro says thousands of people have been ordered to evacuate part of Colorado as forest fires returned to a region devastated by flames last year.
Officials told 19,400 people near Boulder to leave their homes on Saturday as a fast-moving wildfire scorched hills south of the town.
The blaze is not far from the site of a destructive December 2021 blaze that levelled more than 1,000 homes.
The wildfire was fuelled by wind earlier in the day and had grown to 122 acres (49 hectares) with no containment, Boulder fire-rescue spokesperson Marya Washburn explained.
