Jun 11 07:50:30 <carpetgal> you can talk about any part of the fire here

Jun 11 07:50:58 <_tom> I am interested in the south end, haven't heard much down here

Jun 11 07:51:43 <mlp> What is going on at the south end this morning???

Jun 11 07:51:49 <KurtBoyer> According to many News Stations, Switzerland Village has been evacuated. Not true. We have received many reverse 911 calls all saying "please be prepared to evacuate, the next call you receive will be a mandatory evacuation". But then we get the same message again a few hours later.

Jun 11 07:52:33 <carpetgal> I need some maps.South end of fire is deckers right
Jun 11 07:52:42 <-- jenoangelo has quit (QUIT: User exited)
Jun 11 07:52:47 <Guest95007> I know of a person went into LVR at 2:00. he saw a few buildings in flames. West side of ellison rd some flames. Hadn't jumped to east of Ellison rd.

Jun 11 07:53:06 <KIlowatt> Supplies are needed for the FireFighters, A list of needed items is on the PineCam Blogger, Mtn Resource Center phone number is 303-838-7552

Jun 11 07:53:28 <_tom> Not to be too paranoid but we had a small (2 acre) fire set around 5 PM in Woodland Park yesterday (arson) - fifth arson in this area in the last month

Jun 11 07:53:40 <CabinGuy> Has fire reached Buffalo Creek?

Jun 11 07:54:03 <kittredgeclan> Is Switzerland Village under evc????

Jun 11 07:54:38 <KurtBoyer> kittredgeclan: no, we are all still here.

Jun 11 07:54:53 <koshare> southend of fire is still down near Lake George, still burning there

Jun 11 07:54:58 <kittredgeclan> I am glad to hear, my brother is there.

Jun 11 07:55:57 <KurtBoyer> kittredgeclan: we have had many reverse 911 calls, but still no sheriff dropping by to welcome us out of our homes.
Jun 11 07:55:57 <Guest95007> carpetgal: I'm interested much farther south. Close to Ceder Mt. and Hacket Mt. Lutheran Valley Ranch, Wildhorn Ranch

Jun 11 07:56:09 <koshare> at least as of last night the flames in that area (lake george) were still "agressive"

Jun 11 07:56:22 <Soozee> Crews, ground and air support are organizing their efforts this morning and will report fire status later this morning - the fire is so large it will take time to gather this information regarding the progress during the night
Jun 11 07:56:28 <_tom> Info we here down here is that the heel of the fire (area around Lake George) is under control - any one know if that has changed?
Jun 11 07:56:49 --- wb is now known as jjj
Jun 11 07:56:56 <wscott> From what I have heard the fire was only 5% contained and that was a best estimate
Jun 11 07:57:06 <Soozee> PLEASE! This fire is very large - we appreciate updates from your areas - PLEASE - ALWAYS STATE YOUR LOCATION WHEN YOU POST INFO

Jun 11 07:57:27 <Soozee> Everybody new out here should consider donating to Pinecam.com. It's all run by Wayne Harrison and Kurt Boyer on a shoestring budget. Its all supported by donations. So please donate. Go to main page - [url=http://www.pinecam.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;]www.pinecam.com[/url]

Jun 11 07:59:06 <wscott> Has anybody heard any confirmation about whether or not the Girl Scout camp outside of deckers is still there or not?
Jun 11 07:59:14 <KurtBoyer> Number 1 priority should be to donate supplies to the firefighters today. We appreciate donations, but these fighters are hungry. :)

Jun 11 07:59:50 <_tom> Any place for donations down on the south side - I'm just east of Woodland Park

Replied by UNDER MODERATION on topic 8 Years Ago -- The Hayman Wildfire
I was at the Bonita Springs Dog Track with lil precious...We sat up in the exclusive clubhouse and we had a bank of TV's in front of us...The TV's all had live simulcasts of all the tracks in the country, but one had CNN on...Well, i'm lookin at the TV and CNN is in my driveway and it said something about a Forest Fire in Colorado on the crawl...I called a nieghbor and he said there's nothing to worry about, so we didn't..When we got home a few weeks later I learned that we had a lot to worry about.

I still remember my daughter telling me that she was at work in a Taco Bell in California when a news report came over the radio about the Hayman and she said "that's my fire!" she, of course, knew that we were on 'prepare to evacuate' status so she was interested in any information she could get.

Did a little road trip today out Hwy 126 and Hwy67 (same) to Woodland Park for an appointment today. Took a few pics with my phone to see what 8 years had accomplished after the fire.

#1 is what it should look like.



But sadly, it does not. This had to have been one of the most scenic drives you could ask for before 3 Major wildland fires decimated it.

first let me say that i am not a big fan of fires in the community. they pretty much freak me out. but there is some good that comes from the fires. yes, it looks like a disaster area but it provides new growth with grasses, flowers, bushes which feed the wildlife. have you ever considered that the overgrowth of trees destroys wildlife habitat. the alternative is to selectively thin the trees on your property and do some wildfire mitigation around the home.

what really scares me is seeing just how overgrown the entire mountain area is. looks like a crowning fire kind of disaster waiting to happen.
