COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.- Fire crews say the Waldo Canyon Fire remains 98 percent contained as of Monday morning.

The blaze, which is the most destructive in state history, destroyed around 350 homes and killed two people.

Fire officials say cooler, moist weather has been making the last bit of containment easier than before.
