Ready, Aim, FIRE!

There's a new one right up against Lyons, CO today now too... ugh

I saw that. Resources were already pretty thin so these new fires popping up all over are really going to tax how they're able to address them. I just watched a statement that was just given how they were talking about using what resources they had to get people/animals out and protect structures as best as possible.

They're "expecting additional assets to arrive within a few days" but until then there's not much "fighting" the blaze going on so much as getting people out of the path and doing what they can for structures. He mentioned calling in engines from around the area to assist as best as possible with structure fires and two hand crews in addition to the ariel assets listed above.

As I check the weather it looks like we may have caught a break in that there's s chance for rain in the forecast for Monday which is a day earlier than it was looking like yesterday. That's still far enough out that things are sure to change but it's at least some hope since it looks like it's going to be hot and dry otherwise.

I was thinking today about what I would take if I had an hour to evacuate my home.

Other than the dog and a couple of guns, nothing jumped out at me.

Seems I have 1500 square feet filled with valueless junk.

Nothing like a little excitement to start the week! Stay safe, my wife would be a complete wreck.
I need to checkout flight radar 24.

Met a few of our neighbors out in the street yesterday afternoon and one of the husbands was a mess. I couldn't believe how visibly and audibly he was freaking out and that was when it was barely even a few hundred acres. His wife said he had anxiety and I was like... yeah.. no shit lady. I was instantly made to feel like I had things under control, comparatively. lol

View from my house a few weeks ago. Lightning started it.

And now a 3rd fire popped up last night. Looking to me like we have an arsonist playing with matches.

Pray for rain folks. Pray for rain....

And now a 4th outside Boulder near Gross Reservoir.

Or it could be a a hot dry summer with no rain and little humidity.

Although I am certain Joe_K will find some way to blame the Jews.

a hot dry summer with no rain in of itself does not start wildfires.
