Firefighters are battling to keep the Waldo Canyon fire from reaching the Air Force Academy and residential areas north of Colorado Springs. It's burned about 8 square miles and is only 5 percent contained. But so far, it's only destroyed a shed. About 5,000 people remain evacuated from their homes.
