Got another fire up on Fisher's Peak. It has already grown considerably since this morning. I'll try and post some pics.

Currently less than 10 acres. Several engines onsite as well as 2 helo's. With the humidity where it is, it should be OK. Looks cool though.

PS. Good to hear your still kickin up there, encore.

Latest report is two separate fires at 5 acres and 20 acres respectively. 5 acre one seems to be receding. 20 acre burn is growing. Multiple engines and hand-crews on site. Helos still tasked.

Just checked out that fire at 7:30 PM, from a distance of only a few miles. Now there are two pretty good sized fires with NUMEROUS hot spots. Have some of our more important papers loaded in the truck just in case. Please say a prayer for us poor old fire threatened folks.

I just passed there a couple hours ago. I couldn't see much from I-25 on the Raton side as I was driving north, but could smell and see the smoke. That area needs a break from fires. Shame to lose all that beauty.

The rainstorm really helped quite a bit on this side of the peak for the Pipeline fire. I haven't been around to see the Crazy fire on the other side yet.
