Colorado's Wildfires Throw BBQ Bigger Than Your Town
Colorado's Lee fire has taken 'burning 130,000 acres' to a whole new level, becoming one of the 'largest blazes in state history.' Meanwhile, the Elk fire is not just tagging along, having 'surpassed 14,000 acres.' More than 1,000 firefighters are deployed, battling gusty winds and dry conditions that 'are expected to continue to drive extreme fire behavior.' So basically, Mother Nature's throwing a fiery tantrum nobody RSVPd for, and the firefighters are doing their best to crash this blazing block party.

If the Lee fire had a LinkedIn page, it'd just say 'Exceptional at scaling acreage, blazing through adversity, and hot enough to melt bureaucracy.'
Firefighters facing ‘extreme fire behavior’? Sounds like my Democrat relatives trying to explain logic on Thanksgiving.
