Colorado's Bear Creek Fire, which had forced the evacuations of 235 homes earlier this week, is now 100% contained. The Colorado Springs Fire Department made the announcement Friday evening after windy and warm weather conditions whipped flames dangerously close to homes on Thursday. “We have so many residents in Colorado Springs that take fire mitigation seriously. The western part of Colorado Springs is considered under extreme risk for wildland fire. Record high temperatures have been reported this week from Colorado to the Southwest, ABC News reported Friday.
