Multiple wildfires, in addition to the Lime Gulch and Black Forest fires, are burning in Colorado, including the Scout Ranch fire, Wild Rose fire, Bull Gulch fire and West Fork fire complex.

The Denver Post reports that one of the latest blazes, the East Peak Fire in Huerfano County, destroyed a Boy Scout camp late Wednesday as well as some homes. The sheriff’s office says the camp was evacuated because of the fire, along with some homes, but couldn’t immediately confirm structures lost.

A fire in the foothills southwest of Denver, the Lime Gulch Fire, about 30 miles southwest of Denver has forced the evacuation of more than 100 people.

In northwest Colorado, the 850-acre Wild Rose Fire has shut down oil and gas wells in Rio Blanco County.

One backcountry wildfire burning in southwestern Colorado has spread with a quarter-mile of the Wolf Creek Ski Area.
