Colorado Raids Insurance Fund to Fight Second Wildfire

Colorado is freeing up more money to help pay for fighting the wildfire burning near Loveland, the second major wildfire to hit the state in a week. An executive order issued Sept. 13 provides up to $3 million for the latest fire. However, the state's emergency fund only had $200,000 left in it so Gov. Bill Ritter has taken $2.9 million from the Major Medical Insurance Fund to shore up the Disaster Emergency Fund.
