Wildfires scorch three states: 'it's like nothing I've seen before'

A flare-up from the Waldo Canyon Fire burns across a canyon from homes in the Cedar Heights neighborhood west of Colorado Springs, Colo. on Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Firefighters are battling to keep the Waldo Canyon fire from reaching the Air Force Academy and residential areas north of Colorado Springs. It's burned about 8 square miles and is only 5 percent contained. But so far, it's only destroyed a shed. About 5,000 people remain evacuated from their homes.
