Several fires are burning across western Colorado, with some at historic sizes and other causing evacuations of Western Slope towns.

More than half a dozen wildfires continued to burn across Colorado Monday morning, but firefighters have been able to get control over several of the blazes.

The Lee fire, burning in Rio Blanco County southwest of Meeker, has eclipsed the 2018 Spring Creek blaze as the fifth-largest wildfire in Colorado history.
