In western Colorado, winds have spread two wildfires that have burned more than 7,000 acres and prompted the evacuation of several campgrounds.

In California, ground crews with air support were surrounding a stubborn wildfire that has burned through 4,100 acres of grass and brush in rural San Diego County.
