A Colorado fire that started in August has now broken the record for the largest fire in the state’s history at more than 164,000 acres.

The fire is already 25,000 acres larger than the previous record-setting fire — the Pine Gulch fire, also from 2020, which burned more than 139,000 acres until it was contained in September.
