Firefighters in Colorado Springs responded to two fires in the city and officials have issued evacuation orders.
Denver7 ABC reported that one of the fires — called the Akerman Fire — burned 30 acres before it was 100 percent contained late last night.
Local residents and an elementary school were evacuated.
The other fire — called the Skylark Mobile Home Park Fire — destroyed eight mobile homes, but no injuries were reported.
CSFD Lt. Aaron McConnellogue said the call for this fire came in at 11:36 a.m., according to a KOAA reporter at the scene. Resources took some time to arrive due to multiple other fires, he said.
About 50 firefighters responded to this fire, KOAA reported.
