As wildfires raged across the western US, authorities said on Wednesday that human remains had been found inside a burned house in Colorado.
There are nearly 100 active wildfires burning in the west, including a massive wildfire in California that has grown swiftly in recent days to become the fifth-largest in state history.
In Colorado, a wildfire near the city of Loveland in the Rockies grew to more than 5,000 acres (2,023 hectares) on Tuesday evening as more homes were placed under mandatory evacuation orders and a looming column of smoke could be seen for miles around.
A body was discovered in a home that burned about 1 mile (1.6km) north of Lyons, Colorado, according to Curtis Johnson, the Boulder county sheriff. He said detectives were assisting the investigation into the death but declined to provide further details.
