LOVELAND, Colo.—A person was killed in one of several wildfires threatening heavily populated areas of the Colorado foothills, authorities said Wednesday, as almost 100 large blazes burned across the western U.S.
The death came in a fire near the town of Lyons that blackened more than two square miles (six square kilometers) by Wednesday afternoon, authorities said. The person’s remains were discovered in one of five homes that burned, Boulder County Sheriff Curtis Johnson said without providing further details.
