In the wake of the Colorado fires communities come together to recover
Colorado wildfires update:
*The federal government has declared the area a federal disaster, meaning they can help out some more.
*There are actually three separate blazes.
*About 500 homes have already been destroyed and tens of thousands of people have been evacuated. More people are on stand-by to evacuate.
*One person was found dead and there are still about 10 missing.
*Some of the side effects of dealing with such large fires (other than the obvious) are drastically increased temperatures and storms created from large amounts of smoke.
*President Obama has planned to visit Colorado and some of the fire-stricken areas today.

Devastating scenes from the massive wildfire burning its way across Colorado.
In just two days, the fire — some 15 miles west of Fort Colllins — has torn up more than 37,000 acres, destroyed at least 118 buildings and forced hundreds from their homes. One death has been reported, but authorities refused to confirm whether the victim was a person reported missing from a house that burned.
