Per cosmiccowboy55: Platte Canyon Fire, Elk Creek Fire, and possibly North Fork Fire are on scene of a possible house fire in the 200 block of Applebee in Harris Park, Bailey. It was called in by a deputy, house was full of smoke, no flames seen, but fire arrived on scene and broke out windows for ventilation. They've been asking for air bottles and now requesting an ambulance and chopper go.

Defensive attack on the structure.

"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
