Damage from Wetmore fire tops $2 million Nov 1, 2012
Damage has now topped $2 million and that number is expected to climb even higher. Meanwhile families are still sifting through the rubble. “There was a lot of good stuff in that house to take,” said Thelma Glass. “But we didn’t get a chance.”
Thelma and her husband Ron moved to Wetmore from Alabama about two years ago. “It was just perfect.” They lived in a two-story, three bedroom house with a gorgeous view of the mountains. But on October 23 their lives changed.
“Five to six minutes and it was here,” said Glass. The fire roared through their neighborhood with little warning. “It could have been really bad and it was really bad, but God watched out for us I think,” said Glass. No one was hurt, but the fire consumed 15 homes leaving nothing but rubble and ashes

Colorado wildfire expands viciously, Obama plans visit
Firefighters struggled on Wednesday to beat back a wildfire raging at the edge of Colorado Springs that doubled in size overnight, forced more than 32,000 people from their homes and was nipping at the edges of the U.S. Air Force Academy…
President Barack Obama plans to travel to the area on Friday to view the damage… Over half of the federal government’s firefighting resources are deployed in Colorado, the White House said.
Colorado Springs Fire Chief Rich Brown called the firestorm threatening his city – in a metropolitan area of more than 650,000 people – “a monster” and said at this point flames were “not even remotely close to being contained.”
“This is the worst fire season in the history of Colorado,” Governor John Hickenlooper told a news conference on Tuesday, after he flew into Colorado Springs to tour the fire zone.
The Air Force Academy said the evacuation zone included two communities of single-family homes on its grounds housing around 2,100 civilian and military personnel and their families.
“I was spraying the hose on the shingles and the cops came through the neighborhood and told me to get out now,” said Heintzelman, 34, who lives with his mother.

The loss of homes surpassed that of the 2002 Hayman fire in southern Colorado, which destroyed 133 homes and 466 outbuildings…
