Interior Secretary Salazar to tour Colorado Springs wildfire damage

Interior Secretary Ken Salazar is heading to Colorado Springs to review the response to the worst wildfire on record in Colorado.

Salazar plans to meet Monday with state and local officials involved in the wildfire response and receive a briefing.

The fire that began more than two weeks ago killed two people and destroyed nearly 350 homes after it moved into Colorado Springs. At one point, the blaze prompted evacuations affecting more than 30,000 residents. The fire is nearly fully contained and many evacuees have returned home.
