LIVERMORE, Colo. (AP) - More than 120 people are fighting a wildfire near the Colorado-Wyoming border.
The Starwood Fire covers about half a square mile and broke out Sunday afternoon. The Coloradoan reports that the blaze was 10 percent contained on Monday.
About 30 structures have been threatened by the fire. No additional evacuations were expected Monday.
Incident Commander Tony Simons says that officials are still investigating the cause of the fire.
There were storms in the area of the fire in Sunday, so the fire might have been caused by lightning. The fire area is part of a large swath of Northern Colorado classified by the U.S. Drought Monitor as “abnormally dry,” the precursor to drought.
