Massive wildfires burn out of control

Posted: Updated:

(CBS) - Two large wildfires are still burning in Colorado and New Mexico and have already burned hundreds of homes.

The Colorado fire has grown to 68-square-miles in size. Firefighters were able to get the first bit of containment. The fire, which has killed one person and burned more than 100 buildings, is now at 10-percent containment and that number should grow.

In New Mexico, the "Little Bear" fire is at 35-percent containment.  But the 56-square mile blaze has also burned at least 224 homes and cabins near the village of Ruidoso.
