DENVER, July 3 (UPI) -- Colorado's Waldo Canyon wildfire will not be completely extinguished until mid-July, fire officials said Tuesday.
At a briefing, officials in Colorado Springs said residents of one area would be able to return to their homes by 6 p.m. Tuesday, the Colorado Springs Gazette reported. But the massive wildfire remains only 70 percent contained after spreading to nearly 18,000 acres.
