DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: Now to Colorado where hundreds of firefighters are working to control a wildfire around Boulder. Dozens of residents have been evacuated from the fire zone about 12 miles from the center of town. We're going to get the latest now by phone from George Broyles. He is a fire information officer for Boulder. George, good morning. Thanks for joining us.</s>GEORGE BROYLES, FIRE INFORMATION OFFICER: Good morning. Thank you.</s>KAGAN: What is the latest on this fire near Boulder?</s>BROYLES: Well, we had a real busy day yesterday. The fire challenged everything we tried to do to it, crossed several containment lines as well as the main roads through there. We worked hard through the night. The good news is that we were able to protect all the homes in the area.</s>KAGAN: Of course we've been following fires all across the West throughout the summer and coming into the fall now. But what's different about this fire, it seems a lot closer to a city and to homes than other fires that we've covered.</s>BROYLES: Yes, that's correct. There are numerous homes scattered throughout the area. We've got 137 homes right now under evacuation. A lot of those homes are in the path of the fire. Yesterday, we did conduct some burnout activities to the homes that were in immediate danger, and those were successful, so we're real glad about that.</s>KAGAN: I happened to be in the Aspen area over the weekend and noticed it was quite warm for this time of year. Are you going to get some better conditions to help fight this fire?</s>BROYLES: Well, we don't anticipate that. The long-term outlook is still for dry, warm weather. After that, we expect increased winds today. So that's -- will certainly challenge our fire suppression activities throughout the day.</s>KAGAN: Well, we will wish you well in fighting this fire and protecting those homes of the folks around Boulder. George Broyles, fire information officer from Boulder, Colorado, thank you for your time.
