A fire burning in Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado burned more than 2,400 acres as of Wednesday.

The park is still closed to visitors and employees but officials say the threat to the historic Puebloan structures is not as great. Two houses were lost, two suffered major damage and one had minor damage.
