A fire that broke out Sunday afternoon in the Pack Creek Campground & RV Park destroyed at least five mobile homes and damaged five others. The cause of the fire is currently not known, but fire investigators have determined that it started outside. Local groups providing crisis relief are mobilizing to help families affected, who will likely need help replacing mobile homes or getting rehoused. Plus, a retired police officer is using new technology to search nationwide databases for missing Indigenous people. And, a new study finds that the upper Colorado River basin is drying out due to climate change.
