GWEN IFILL (Newshour): Fire managers in Colorado and New Mexico spent the day calling in major new manpower and hoping for help from nature. The developments underscored that fire season has set in with a vengeance in the Southwest.

The High Park fire is believed to have been sparked early Saturday by a lightning strike 15 miles west of Fort Collins. Since then, the big blaze has covered more than 60 square miles, with nothing to slow it down.
