Five lightning-sparked fires were burning across more than 5,200 acres around southwestern Colorado on Thursday after expanding overnight — spewing smoke that prompted renewed air quality health alerts — and firefighters tasked with full suppression were counting on rain.“If all we get is wind and lightning, things could pick up. There’s some single-tree torching and it can look pretty active at times, mostly in the afternoons,” federal Bureau of Land Management spokeswoman Niki Carpenter said at the Little Mesa fire, which was burning pinon, juniper and sage forest and grew to 414 acres southwest of Delta on the Dominguez Escalante National Conservation Area.Little Mesa fireAt two other fires north of Pagosa Springs, firefighters directed to squelch the Little Mesa fire were holding off due to difficult terrain and the intensity of flames.“That kind of fire isn’t safe for firefighters to go direct, so our strategy for suppression has been ‘contain and confine,’ &#...

In recent days, they’ve looked sharp in practice. Preseason games can get tilted quickly depending on how both sides approach playing time. Touchdowns are great – Wilson and the top offense would gladly take a couple – but maybe more interesting will be if the group operates efficiently in and out of the huddle and looks crisp.“You want to get in there, and you want to see clean execution and timing,” Payton said. “Most importantly for...
