The Black Forest fire has chewed its way through 25 square miles of thickly wooded residential areas outside Colorado Springs, killing two people, destroying 400 homes and forcing 38,000 people to evacuate. Authorities inched closer to curbing the flames Friday afternoon, bringing containment to 30 percent. Evacuation orders for thousands of those forced to flee were lifted, according to local reports. For people whose whole lives and livelihoods are in the neighborhoods bright with orange flames, all they could do was wait to see if their homes have been reduced to ash. usnews.nbcnews/_news/2013/06/14/18958194-residents-in-path-of-black-forest-fire-remain-resolute-hopeful?lite=
