SALT LAKE CITY (Reuters) - A raging Utah brush fire ignited by target shooting in dry grass forced some 8,000 people from their homes in two small communities on Friday as high winds fanned flames toward a nearby explosives factory, authorities said.
Hundreds of miles to the east in Colorado, swirling winds and triple-degree heat also conspired to stir up a two-week-old blaze north of Denver, causing more property damage and forcing more evacuations a day after firefighters had gained ground.
