I read "At least 63 structures burned in fire near Boulder" by Bruce Finley, Yesenia Robles, and Kevin Vaughan, contributors for the Denver Post because this story definately seemed like it matters to me because the fire is in Colorado, the state in which I live in.  It mainly talked about how severe this fire in Boulder is, information about what the fire has done so far, and what some victims have gone through because of this.  This story matters for many reasons, especially for those of us who live in Colorado.  The first reason why it matters is because it affects us because it is huge fire and its not like we are just observers.  For example, if this fire were to happen in a different state, we wouldnt need to be as worried because it wont affect us.  On the other hand, this fire is happening in the state we live in, so it could possible affect us.  There are many ways this could affect us.  The fire could travel to where we live, which is unlikely, but always a possiblility.  A more likely scenerio would be that the smoke could possibly travel from the fire, to where we live.  But there is also a thought the someone that doesnt live near where the fire is happening, and that would be they know someone who has been affected by this fire.  So this fire definately matters for us locals.
