ANDRIA HALL, CNN ANCHOR: A wildfire is forcing hundreds of people from their homes near Boulder, Colorado. The flames have charred more than 500 acres in mountains 12 miles southwest of Boulder. Lieutenant Joe Gang with the Boulder County sheriff's office is joining us now by telephone with the very latest on the wildfire. Mr. Gang, thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule; 200 homes threatened in six mountain ranges -- six mountain subdivision ranges. Can you tell us the latest?</s>LT. JOE GANG, BOULDER COUNTY SHERRIF'S OFFICE: Pretty much, the fire has expanded to about 600 acres. No structures or residents are directly threatened at this point. There's about 100 firefighters on the line, and we still have at least three attack fixed-wing aircraft dropping slurry, and two helicopters also assisting in bucket drops at the moment.</s>HALL: So that's good news, because the latest written report we had said that homes were threatened, you're now updating us, saying that they are not. Mr. Gang, can you tell us about resources? I'm sure they're mighty thin there is Colorado.</s>GANG: Actually we are a little thin on actual crews. The crews that have been out on the fire have been out for a significantly long time. They're fairly exhausted. They'll probably be pulled in by about 8 o'clock tonight, when we start losing the light. We're expecting additional reserve crews, both coming in tonight and tomorrow morning, when the federal incident command structure takes over.</s>HALL: So you have enough resources to fight this fire quickly?</s>GANG: We have enough resources to fight it effectively through the night.</s>HALL: Joe Gang, we thank you for joining us, updating us on the fires in Colorado.
