City flees huge wildfire
More than 32,000 people have fled a raging wildfire threatening homes in the US city of Colorado Springs.
Traffic and smoke choked the streets as people evacuated the city and the nearby US Air Force Academy.
Local officials ordered the temporary evacuation of several hotels, including Hyatt, Hilton, Best Western and Days Inn properties.
The fire, which began on Saturday, has been fanned towards Colorado Springs – Colorado’s second largest city – by strong winds.
"It was like looking at the worst movie set you could imagine," Colorado governor John Hickenlooper said after surveying the fire from the air.
"It’s almost surreal. You look at that, and it’s like nothing I’ve seen before."
Richard Brown, the Colorado Springs fire chief, described the blaze as a "firestorm of epic proportions".
