Cloudy Conditions Help Firefighters Battling Beaver Creek Fire

WALDEN, Colo. (CBS4) - A second day of cloudy weather is helping to stop the flames of the Beaver Creek Fire from spreading.

The wildfire has burned more than 13,000 acres near the town of Walden and not far from the Wyoming border.

Containment on the blaze is holding at just 5 percent.

Crews say they won't likely have the fire completely under control until mid-October.
