[Cooper:] I want to update our breaking news, the massive wildfire in Colorado we told you about at the top of the program. Additional resources who tackle flames from the air, the ground are being called in right now. Federal crews are stepping in to try to take over management of the firefighting effort. Now, the fire has nearly doubled in size just since yesterday. Damage estimates jumped from 13 structures to 100 have already burned. The flames now cover an area of over 57,000 square miles and by some estimates it is spreading at a rate of 40 feet per second, fast moving. Now, all of this is forcing thousands of people obviously to leave their homes. No guarantees are going to be still standing when they return. The question, of course, is can firefighters expect the weather to cooperate? I want to check in with meteorologist Chad Myers. Chad, what's the latest?
[Chad Myers, Ams Meteorologist:] Well, you know, the best case scenario, Anderson, would be rain. That's not going to happen. The next best thing is for the wind to stop. Yesterday, winds were blowing 40, 50 miles per hour. Today, they are blowing 30. Tomorrow around 10 so yes, that's helpful. That isn't going to get in the way. Won't hamper the firefighting efforts like all the winds did over the weekend. It is a scattered fire. Look at the fire lines, how do you fight something that has a shape that looks like this? All over the place in every canyon, up every valley, with a bunch of dead trees out there. There was a huge problem with beetles killing these trees. All of these trees, you're seeing some on the pictures that are green burning, but so many of them, the underbrush are dead, and that is the fuel to make all these fires out here in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, really bad this year. It's a bad season so far.
[Cooper:] That was the fuel. Do we know what sparked the fires?
[Myers:] This one they believe was a lightning strike. Believe it or not, one person in New Mexico was test firing a gun. The gun bullet hit a rock. The rock sparked. The spark started a fire. That went 15 acres before they could put that out.
[Cooper:] That's crazy. That's amazing. I mean, is it is it completely out of control at this point? You saw that fire line, it looks it.
[Myers:] Yes, it's completely out of control. Zero percent containment. There's not one part of that fire that's not growing tonight. Now, the firefighters are surrounding houses. They're really trying to protect structures. They are going to let the fire burn. At this point in time, they can't stop especially with the winds at 30 right now. They can't stop the trees from burning, but they can protect the structures. They can protect the homes and businesses that are in those valleys.
[Cooper:] We wish those firefighters the best and all those people with their homes. I hope they're OK. Chad, appreciate it. Thanks. If you want to see more images of the fire, go to ireport.cnn.com. There's more stuff there, some remarkable images. We're following a number of other stories. Isha's here for the "360 News and Business Bulletin" Isha.
[Isha Sesay, Cnn Correspondent:] Anderson, we're getting reports of Syrian government forces firing on residents from helicopters during an assault in the town of Jabal Alzouwya. Human rights groups say 32 people died in the 6-hour long raid. While 93 people died in the violence going on across the country today. The State Department called the use of helicopters desperate and a serious escalation. An unmanned drone crashed in a Maryland marsh today. The Navy says the "Global Hawk" went down during a routine training flight. There are no reports of injuries or damage to property. An appeal was filed on behalf of the former Rutgers University student convicted in the webcam spying trial. The 20-year-old Dharun Ravi began serving his 30-day sentence on May 31st. Prosecutors say they will also appeal for a longer sentence. And Anderson, the wild west hit the auction block. Big spenders got the chance to own personal items that once belonged to Annie Oakley. It included a portrait of the gun slinger along with her hat and gun. Oakley's 12-gauge shotgun alone brought in more than $143,000.
[Cooper:] Wow.
[Sesay:] I know, some calling her America's first female superstar.
[Cooper:] Pretty cool. How did they know it was her gun?
[Sesay:] They you know what, don't make me lie to you.
[Cooper:] I don't know. There must be records. Some sort of
[Sesay:] They were put up action by her great grand nieces so they've been in the family. See, I did know the answer. Just had to dig deep.
[Cooper:] Is that how you dig, like a chipmunk there?
[Sesay:] You got your answer.
[Cooper:] I did. I'm very impressed. Isha, thanks. We're going to check back a little bit later with you for some stories. Really sad news today, "Good Morning America" anchor, Robin Roberts made an announcement. You know, she's already beaten breast cancer. She is now facing a very dangerous new medical battle. We certainly wish her best. She revealed the condition on "Good Morning America" this morning. We are going to talk to Dr. Sanjay Gupta about the condition. Because, frankly, I'd never heard of it nor have a lot of people. We'll tell you about it next.
