Colorado prison evacuated as wildfire becomes one of largest in state history

Description:

A Colorado prison was evacuated as the Lee fire, one of the state’s largest wildfires, grew to over 167 square miles with only 6% containment. All 179 inmates from the Rifle Correctional Center were safely relocated about 150 miles away. The fire, fueled by gusty winds and low humidity, is now Colorado’s sixth-largest and has prompted evacuation orders for nearby mountain communities, The Guardian has reported. Meanwhile, in California, crews made progress on the Canyon and Gifford fires, with the latter burning 180 square miles and reaching 32% containment. read more: 👍 Like this video to raise awareness about the massive wildfires impacting Colorado and other western states. 💬 Comment below—Have you ever had to evacuate because of a wildfire? 🔗 Share this video to inform others about the growing wildfire risks and ongoing evacuations. 💰 Want to support the channel?
