Obama: Employ All Resources to Fight Colorado Wildfires
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 30, 2012 - As President Barack Obama thanked
firefighters and volunteers, and met with impacted families in
wildfire-devastated areas in and around Colorado Springs, Colo.,
yesterday, he also vowed to marshal all federal resources --
including military -- to combat the fires.
Fires continue to burn in the Mount Saint Francis area of Colorado
Springs, Colo., while firefighters battle several fires in Waldo
Canyon, June 28, 2012. The Waldo Canyon fire has claimed 18,500
acres and burned more than 300 homes. The U.S. Air Force Academy,
U.S. Air Force Space Command, Warren Air Force Base, Wyo., and Fort
Carson, Colo., have joined local organizations to fight the fires.
