Kruger Rock wildfire in Colorado poses "immediate and imminent danger," threatening homes and businesses

Mandatory evacuation orders have been issued for some Colorado residents and businesses as firefighters respond to the Kruger Rock Fire, which ignited Tuesday morning in Estes Park. Officials believe the 100-acre flame was ignited by an issue with power lines, CBS Denver reported.

In a series of emergency messages, the Larimer County Sheriff's Office warned residents in the area that the fire poses "immediate and imminent danger." 

"Evacuate the area immediately and as quickly as possible," the sheriff's office said. "Do not delay leaving to gather belongings or make efforts to protect your home or business. Evacuating immediately not only supports your safety but also allows emergency crews better access to the area."
