Hundreds of firefighters have joined efforts to tackle two of the biggest wildfires ever seen in the US states of Colorado and New Mexico. The Colorado blaze shrouded the state capital, Denver, 60 miles (100km) away, in smoke, hampering rescue efforts. A woman has died in the blaze, which has burned about 46,720 acres (73 sq miles). Smaller fires also burnt in nine drought-stricken western states, including Utah, California and Arizona. |
