Colorado wildfires may get bigger and more dangerous because of dry conditions and dying trees, Colorado's state forester warned Thursday.
State Forester Jeff Jahnke said that high winds and dry forests are making it more difficult to send in firefighters to fight blazes on the ground. He said they may have to rely more on equipment.
Jahnke said the public needs to understand that not all fires can be quickly contained.
