Fire Fighters Beginning Containment of High Park Fire

Fire officials have begun to accomplish containment of the High Park Fire, saying they're up to five percent, with hopes to reach 10 by the end of Tuesday.

Cooler temperatures have aided them greatly, slowing the fire's growth to only a few thousand more acres, now totaling less than 44,000 acres.

Some evacuees are being allowed back in, but at the same time other areas are being evacuated.

Five hundred fire fighters are battling the blaze, with expectations of that number reaching close to eight hundred by Thursday.

One person has been killed by the fire, that has damaged or destroyed more than one hundred homes.
