LOVELAND, Colo. (AP) — Jan Gueswel describes a harrowing escape from her Colorado mountain home: flames stretching 200 feet into the air towering over the lone road out. But she swears she’d never live anywhere else.

“I would rather live in Poudre Park than in an apartment where I don’t know what my neighbor is doing,” said Gueswel, who fled her home with her husband, Carl, as northern Colorado’s High Park Fire exploded.
