2 found dead where at least 360 Colo. homes destroyed by wildfire

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — A voracious wildfire driven in all directions by shifting winds has killed two people and destroyed at least 360 homes — a number that was likely to climb as the most destructive blaze in Colorado history burned for a third day through miles of tinder-dry woods, a sheriff said Thursday.

The destruction northeast of Colorado Springs has surpassed last June’s Waldo Canyon fire, which burned 347 homes, killed two people and caused $353 million in insurance claims just 15 miles to the southwest.

The heavy losses were blamed in part on explosive population growth in areas with historically high fire risk.

Seven deadly days for teen drivers in summer

Deaths of teen drivers nationwide increased from 2011 by 19 percent in the first six months of last year, shows a report by the Governors Highway Safety Association, which receives information that states send to a federal database.
