Smoke from the raging Decker wildfire was visible in downtown Salida, Colorado, on Oct. 13, 2019.
A lightning strike started the fire more than a month earlier, about nine miles south of the city - and there were harrowing moments.
The blaze reached within two miles of the Salida limits, according to the National Forest Service.
Incident commanders also withdrew 755 firefighters as the flames gained momentum and they called in aerial tankers for support.
