The Forest Fires that swept through Boulder, Co. six days ago are still continuing to blaze through Four Mile Canyon, but firefighters have been making progress. A September 10th news article published in the New York Times said that the fire is now "50% contained... and about 2,000 people were returned to their homes on Friday". The fire, which is still being investigated for known causes, turned into a massive inferno after strong winds swept through the area. Hundreds of homes and businesses were destroyed leaving people stranded throughout the area. However, things are beginning to look a bit more hopeful for the people of Boulder as firefighters continue to do all they can to contain the fire and place the evacuated back home.
