Colorado rescue team makes dense forests less flammable

Fires continue to rage all over the western U.S., with more hot and dry weather on the way. 

According to the National Interagency Fire Center, more than 16,000 firefighters are now battling at least 68 major fires in 12 different states. 

While crews are busy on the front lines, other firefighters are working to ensure that future fires are less destructive to people and property in their areas.
