THOUSANDS OF ACRES ABLAZE IN ELBERT, LINCOLN, MORGAN AND WELD COUNTIES


UPDATE

Wildfires erupted as winds blasted northeast Colorado on Tuesday, scorching thousands of acres of farmland in Elbert, Lincoln, Morgan and Weld counties.

Firefighting crews from across the Front Range raced to the eastern prairie to help battle the flames.

The Lincoln County blaze, pictured here, forced evacuations. Flames moved into Morgan County from Weld County.

The Elbert County blaze was estimated at more than 5,000 acres, also forcing evacuations.
