"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

Correct me if I'm wrong... but to clarify... they are in the planning stage at the moment... no borders have been established yet... that will be coming next.

Update and link for blog...

Bear Gulch Fire 4:54 PM Update

The Bear Gulch Fire is located in the area of Elk Mountain Road and Kuehster Road in Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District. An overflight by an airplane estimated the fire at 1/2 acre creeping in grass and duff. Very slow rate of spread. At this time the Single Engine Air Tanker (SEAT) has made two drops over the fire and a helicopter has also made two drops.

The fire is located on a ridge in an area with very difficult access. The Incident Commander from ICFPD estaimtes a six hour hike into the fire for firefighters. Due to the remote area and the difficult access firefighters will monitor the fire overnight and then hike into the area tomorrow. Hiking in, fighting the fire and then hiking out in the dark very dangerous fire firefighters.

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office has issued a Level 1 evacuation notice to 103 phones in the Maxwell Hills Subdivison. Be ready to leave. Pay close attention to media for updates.
