Firefighters say the danger of wildfires is worsening in Colorado, Wyoming and western South Dakota.

The Rocky Mountain Area Coordination Center on Thursday raised its preparedness from Level 2 to Level 3. Level 5 is the highest.

The center coordinates firefighting in Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas.

Police in Basalt said this week that illegal fireworks may have started a small wildfire that briefly threatened two homes.

The wind-driven fire broke out Tuesday in dry grass and got to within 10 feet of one home before it was contained.

There were no reports of injury or damage.
