In the high country of southern Colorado, human effort and natural force have arrived at a reckoning. A massive wildfire, already fed by weeks of heat and dry terrain, now faces the arrival of thunderstorms whose winds may undo what exhausted crews have sacrificed so much to build. The deaths of firefighters cast a solemn weight over the coming hours, as the region waits to learn whether the weather will offer mercy or multiply the destruction.
