Thousands of Colorado residents were issued evacuation orders over the weekend as wildfires again swept the Boulder area, just months after blazes destroyed almost entire neighbourhoods less than 20 miles from Denver.
Nearly 20,000 people were told to leave their homes on Saturday, but most of the orders were lifted later that night. As of Sunday afternoon, the fire was 35 percent contained and only 1,629 people remained under an evacuation order.
