Firefighters will return to battle an 80-acre wildfire in the foothills west of Denver today.

Cooler temperatures and higher humidity moved into the area last night, allowing all but three families to be allowed back to their homes.

Those three families live closest to the fire but their homes aren't thought to be in imminent danger.

The fire was spread by winds that gusted up to 70 miles per hour at times as a cold front moved into the area.

The fire, which is 25 percent contained, is burning in the same area where the Hi Meadow wildfire burned six years ago.

Meanwhile a fire burning on the southeastern plains is now listed at 15-hundred acres but no structures in the thinly populated area are threatened.

It's 80 percent contained.

And in southwestern Colorado, a 530-acre wildfire near Durango is now 100 percent contained.

Firefighters will be back today to mop up and make sure there are no lingering hot spots.
