MONTEZUMA COUNTY, Colo.- The U.S. Forest Service is calling for evacuations of at least 30 to 40 homes threatened by a wildfire in the southwestern part of the state.

The fast-moving fire is located six miles southeast of Mancos.

It's burning on more than 100 acres near the same place where another fire burned earlier this year.

Meanwhile, crews are also working to keep another fire from spreading toward homes at Vallecito Reservoir; this one is burning between 200 and 250 acres.
