Major wildfires are currently burning in Colorado and other parts of the country. This has resulted in federal firefighting resources being stretched to their limits.

Dozens of large fires are burning nationwide, with over half a dozen in Colorado alone.

The National Interagency Fire Center has elevated its preparedness level, indicating a high demand for national resources, but further details on the situation are available from the National Interagency Fire Center or other sources such as the Aspen Times.
