On Monday, November 1, Larimer County evacuees were able to return home, as Cameron Peak Fire reached 85 percent containment. After the snowstorm last week, fire crews have finally been able to turn a corner in Colorado's worst wildfire season in history.
Since Cameron Peak Fire began burning west of Fort Collins mid August, hundreds of homes and properties have been destroyed, while we dealt with dark, ash and smoke-filled days on the Front Range.
