COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs police say a body has been found in one of the estimated 346 homes burned by a raging Colorado wildfire.

Police Chief Pete Carey says two people had been reported missing, and a search is continuing for the remaining person.

The Waldo Canyon Fire in Colorado Springs has chased more than 30,000 people from their homes and reduced an estimated 346 homes to ashes.

The High Park Fire has been burning for more than two weeks, destroying 257 homes. But some 1,900 people were allowed to return to their neighborhoods yesterday.
