## Resource

Wildfires rage across Colorado with no new major ignitions Friday, but thousands of firefighters battle existing blazes amid worsening weather. The Ferris Fire swells to 62,000 acres, threatening the Utah border, while a new fire erupts near the massive Gold Mountain Fire—now Colorado’s 10th largest at 33,000 acres. Evacuations expand, containment lines under pressure, and heat/drought forecast to intensify the crisis. The Willow Fire near Leadville and Aspen Acres Fire (800+ structures lost) remain active, while the tiny Rock Creek Fire near Cheyenne Mountain nears full containment. Firefighters push hard—weather is the wild card. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
