Ouch! Are you in the evacuation zone? I heard on the radio 1000 residences were evaced. Damn scary, stay safe! As much as I love this weather we need moisture bad.
-not yet, but the photo is from my driveway so I'm not all that far from it.Quote:

Any word on the cause yet?
Not surprising with how dry it's been.
Stay safe.
-many people are making suppositions based on location of initial sightings but I've not heard anything definitive yet. Many reports that it was already seen going on around 1:30-2am this morning.Quote:

At least it appears that the fire is contained to the undergrowth and not a crown fire. The area will probably be nice and lush once we do get some moisture.
I'm only seeing helicopters dropping water they scoop out of Wonderland Lake at this point, the plane in the original photo posted above seems to have called it a day....or are taking a multi-hour lunch break.
Talked to someone who saw it raging at 2:00am. Boulder Canyon has been closed since this morning but heavy traffic on side canyons. No word as to cause. I doubt there is much "legal" shooting up there. I heard 1000 people have been evacuated. True?
It's going to be a long summer.
