00:00Firefighters in Colorado are battling the fifth largest fire in state history. Take a look.
00:10The Lee fire has now scorched more than 113,000 acres and it's only 7% contained.
00:17The fire has forced evacuations of residents and a prison over the weekend.
00:22Officials ordered the evacuation of 179 prisoners from Rifle Correctional Center,
00:27moving them to a facility 150 miles away out of an abundance of caution.
00:33Officials are warning others in the area to be prepared to evacuate if winds pick up in drought-stricken areas.
00:40So far, no injuries have been reported from the fire.
00:43Emergency officials say more than 1,000 firefighters are working to get the fire under control and away from highways and roads.
00:51Fire personnel at the southern end of the blaze are facing challenges due to dry conditions and steep terrain.
00:57Air quality warnings are also in effect for surrounding areas as the Lee fire burns to the west and the Elk fire burns to the east.
01:05It's already been a destructive start to the wildfire season in the west.
01:09The Canyon Fire is still burning in southern California but is now 91% contained.
01:14It's destroyed at least seven structures and led to the injuries of three firefighters.
01:19The Gifford Fire, California's largest fire so far this year, is also going strong.
01:23Nearly 120,000 acres have burned as a result and it's just 33% contained as reported by CAL FIRE.
