"The hope for containment today, I will tell you, is tenuous," incident commander Bill Hahnenberg said Monday.
Flames jumped some 20 feet in the air and dry trees, brush and grass fueled the blaze. In the ashes of one home, authorities said they found the body of a 62-year-old woman Monday.
The woman was identified as Linda Steadman by family members.
"Linda Steadman, mother, grandmother, sister and wife perished in the cabin she loved," the family said in a written statement.
Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith says 62-year-old Linda Steadman's home received two emergency notifications after the fire started this weekend, and a firefighter who tried to get to her home to warn her was chased out by flames.
