. A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/8y36fbz . .Cooler temperatures and higher humidity are continuing to aid firefighters battling the Waldo Canyon blaze near Colorado Springs, officials said Monday, but full containment remains at least 10 days away.
.The fire, the most destructive in Colorados history, has consumed 17,827 acres and is being fought by 1,581 firefighters, according to officials' morning status report. Containment was listed at 55%, with full containment not expected until July 12 at the earliest.
."Slow moving thunderstorms are expected over the fire today, officials noted in their morning post. "Winds produced by these storms may increase fire activity. The main focus for crews today will be to continue to secure the north perimeter of the fire along West Monument Creek."
.The Waldo Canyon fire has destroyed at least 346 homes. Other fires, including the High Park blaze near Fort Collins, have burned more acreage but fewer structures. The High Park blaze is 100% contained.
