FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Fire crews took advantage of lower temperatures and higher humidity to advance on a large wildfire in northern Colorado, one of several burning across the West.
The blaze northwest of Fort Collins that scorched 12 square miles was 85% contained.
Reghan Cloudman with the U.S. Forest Service said the area received about 0.15 inches of rain.
Temperatures were in the 50s — more than a 20-degree drop from highs during the previous three days.
