Hoping for the best from the fire. On a side note.......we were at a neighbors party yesterday and another one of our neighbors said that when you go to grab some clothes to grab them out of the dirty laundry hamper since you know those are the clothes you like, that fit you, and that you will wear. Also, at Buster's Pet Supply in Conifer they sell pet stickers to put on your doors that say how many pets you have regarding cats, dogs, other. Other tips: leave some bottled water outside of your front door for the firefighters, leave a note on your UNLOCKED front door letting them know they have your permission to go in and use the bathroom and help themselves to the refrig. I think there were other things but I forgot them.

Any updates? Sounds like it doesn't have much oomph left but with the winds in South Park, you never know.
Looks like it ran along the Colorado Trail. I am hoping it was just one of those fast moving fires that burns out the underbrush but leaves the trees.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
Watching the flames last night was spooky. My husband said that he could see more flames at 3:30a this morning than we could see at 10p last night. It was still putting out a lot of smoke when we left for work this morning. Wind doesn't look like it's doing us any favors right now.
