COLLEEN MCEDWARDS, WORLD NEWS: Firefighters in the U.S. state of Colorado are battling a pair of wildfires that have blackened some 7,000 hectares, but weather forecasters are predicting help for the firefighters will arrive on Friday. CNN's Rusty Dornin reports.</s>RUSTY DORNIN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Firefighters predicted it would happen.</s>SHANE DELGROSSO, FIRE BEHAVIOR ANALYST: This fire is going to become very active. With blowup conditions, we expect some runs.</s>DORNIN: And when the winds gusted up to 60 miles per hour across the Rockies, it ran. As weary firefighters prepared for the battle ahead, the risks were never far from mind.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Keep heads up, because it's pretty windy out, and fire is pretty dangerous.</s>DORNIN: Nearly 1,000 people have been chased from their homes from the two fires burning north and south of Denver. Thousands of homes are scattered through the Rocky Mountain forests here, making it nearly impossible for firefighters to set up a single line that will protect several houses. More than 50 houses have burned to the ground in both fires, losses of more than just a roof overhead.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I don't have anything. I don't have anything. I don't have any shoes. I know it's really weird, you know, but it's like, the most number-one thing is that I don't have my baby pictures, and I only have one baby. I'm sorry.</s>DORNIN (on camera): The skies may send firefighters some welcome relief. A cold front is expected Friday to bring cooler temperatures - best of all, scattered showers.
