About 35 homeowners on the Southern Ute Reservation in Colorado may be forced to evacuate due to wildfire.
The Black Ridge Fire has engulfed 250 acres so far. It is burning near homes and gas wells, although officials don't think the gas wells will pose a problem.
The fire was likely caused by lightning. The reservation has been hit by nine lightning fires in the past week.
