VIDEO: High winds have created "extreme fire conditions" for firefighters at the Cameron Peak Fire, forcing mandatory and voluntary evacuations.
The fire has burned 164,140 acres, consuming more than 30,000 acres in 24 hours, and is now the largest wildfire in state history. The Pine Gulch Fire burned 139,007 earlier this year, and the Hayman Fire burned 137,760 acres in 2002.
Officials confirmed structure loss in a community meeting Wednesday night, including the areas of Pingree Park Road, Lazy Knee and Inca, as well as both sides of 44H and the Groove Springs area
Officials also believe there is structure damage in Springtown Gulch, but there is still active fire in the area so structure protection crews are working to get in the area as safe as possible.
