"LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. -- Monday's predicted convergence of high temperatures and gusty winds failed to materialize at the High Park fire — but the day brought news of more destruction as authorities confirmed that another eight homes had been claimed by the flames. That disclosure pushed to 189 the total of residences destroyed in the second-largest wildfire in Colorado history."
"The homes were lost between Buckhorn and Redstone Canyon, after winds pushed the fire into previously unburned fuel within the fire's perimeter. The fire has burned an estimated 58,770 acres."
Joey Bunch and Kieran Nicholson report for the Denver Post June 19, 2012.
