32,000 ordered to flee US wildfire

Colorado — More than 32,000 people have been ordered to evacuate as a fast-moving wildfire spreads into the city of Colorado Springs. El Paso County sheriff’s spokeswoman Jackie Kirby said Wednesday that the evacuation orders include residents of the Air Force Academy. Kirby says a number of houses have burned, but no estimate is available. Kirby says there have been no reports of injuries after the fire spread quickly Tuesday evening into the city. The Waldo Canyon started June 23 and now covers more than 10 square miles. Elsewhere in Colorado, another wildfire has destroyed 257 homes and killed one person. — AP
