美國科羅拉多州北部山林大火愈燒愈烈，連96公里外丹佛市亦被濃煙籠罩，令到消防飛機在空中灑水救火增添困難。這場大火已燒掉一萬7千多公頃的林木，還導致一名婦人死亡，一百多座建築物遭山火吞噬，並破壞一場婚禮，令到一對新人和親友急忙疏散，十分狼狽。

One of the region's most potent aerial  firefighting forces - two Wyoming Air National Guard C-130s fitted to drop  slurry - sat on a runway in Cheyenne, 50 miles north of the Colorado fire. The  reason: the Forest Service, by law, cannot call for military resources until it  deems that its fleet is fully busy. It also takes 36 hours to mobilize the crews  and planes, officials said.
