Wildfire Near Westcliffe Scorches 15,000 Acres in 12 Hours Driven by 70 MPH Winds

News Link
200 homes near Westcliffe under mandatory evacuation order. A huge smoke plume rolled into the Denver metro area yesterday afternoon driven by southerly winds. I don't think records are kept on first day fire size but this has to be a record. No indication of what started the fire but probably human caused as skies were clear.
