I just got a Fox 31 news update saying 14k acres and 18 structures! Looking at the map of the burn area it looks like loveland to teds place and ft collins to estas! My nepjew works at horsetooth and he sent me a msg saying it was in lory state park earlier.

This fire is all over the place. Wind and dry weather are not helping. This is part of an e-m we received a while ago. I Think if all the residents who have evacuated could reach out to friends and family this it might read like this.

PLEASE DO NOT COPY & PASTE IT TO ANY OTHER WEB SITE, at my request. people DESERVE SOME PRIVACY

Thank you ALL for your thoughts and prayers. I'm sitting in a coffee shop right now, tears streaking for all the love and support that I feel, and a tad bit of fear sneaking in as we breathe the smoke and watch the ash fall from the sky. The kids are safe, we are safe

Jim, please pardon my confusion here.

Are you evacuated due to this fire? Have you suffered a loss from this?

If either of those is YES, please tell us how we can help you!

No luckily not us. I received an e-mail from a friend in our prayer group and took a brief passage from it and put it in italics. Thanks for your concern. Her whole e-mail is very moving but want to respect their privacy. AND we all know something posted on the web has a habit of going global.

CBS 4 has live video from their helicopter of the fire.

Sounds like this thing is way out of control, Larimer sherrifs office spokesman said like 36900 acres and still 0% contained! Anyone here live up there? I know last night the smoke was horrible in Ault. Their are a lot of good people up there fighting this thing, hope they get it under control and everyone is safe so they can get a cold beer soon!

it feels like i have been camping in my bedroom for like a month now 3 fires in a row is nuts. i hope we get a big ass rain this week

We could smell the fire in Greeley last night. I don't know anyone that lives in the area but its the part of the state that I go to for camping and hiking. Those affected have definitely been on my mind. Disasters like this put things in perspective.

Just came back from the WC range (note to self, make sure mags & ammo go with you)
Anyway. The fire looks like it's getting ready to jump the ridge line. Very dense heavy smoke on top and the east side of hill. Nothing like smoke drifting skywards just creeping over the hill.
Again this is insane, windy, extremely dry and no rain in sight.
