'Life threatening' wildfires raze at least 600 homes, a shopping mall and a hotel to the ground in Colorado
Two grass fires were sparked in Colorado on Thursday morning after strong winds caused power lines to fall and transformers to explode. Six people have been taken to hospital in Broomfield with burns, a hospital spokesman confirmed; Colorado officials on Thursday night said they were unaware of any fatalities - although that could change, they said. Almost 600 homes have been destroyed, Boulder County sheriff said, and dramatic footage showed an apartment block in Superior going up in flames.
