COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Firefighters searching for bodies in smoldering piles of the nearly 350 homes burned to the ground by the most destructive wildfire in Colorado history found a second body Friday at a residence where another person was found dead earlier.

As crews on the front lines made slow progress against the flames, Police Chief Pete Carey said fewer than 10 people were unaccounted for. The remains of one person were found Thursday in what was left standing of one home. He confirmed that the remains of a second person who lived there were found Friday.
