NEAR BOULDER, COLO. -- Authorities say a wildfire burning near Boulder has destroyed at least 100 structures and damaged another eight, but it's not clear how many of them are homes.
A government website Tuesday night listed the addresses of 53 homes destroyed.
Authorities say the list was based on a survey of only 5 to 10 percent of the burned area.
None of the roughly 3,000 people forced out of their homes likely will be allowed to return for at least two days.
Authorities say the 7,100-acre fire in the foothills west of Boulder isn't contained at all. At least 300 firefighters are fighting the fire that started Monday.
Authorities are investigating reports that the fire started when a car ran into a propane tank.
