FORT COLLINS, Colo.—Crews battling a wildfire burning west of Fort Collins could get some help from air tankers if weather continues to be on their side.
The fire has destroyed about 15 houses in a rugged, hilly area about 15 miles west of Fort Collins. Residents of over 300 homes were evacuated but have now been allowed back. They’ve been warned to be ready to leave again.
Crews plan to continue building containment lines around the 4,500-acre fire on Monday, a day after cold and snowy weather helped slow the fire’s spread.
Air tankers and a helicopter will be available to help crews from the air if conditions aren’t too windy.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
