ya new fire up at Estes Part too. My wife and kids are being evacuated right now and told to come down, they were up there for a horse show at the fair grounds but where they were camped was just about 150 ft from the fire, so the wife tells me. Everyone is back at fairgrounds and loading up horses now though. Two bombers and a helicopter already working that one. Started in a cabin and went from there

Hope you guys are safe now and things get handled up there. Don't need another horrid experience from another member. God Bless!

Sorry, looked around a bit and didn't see the thread about it already.

So what's the deal with "Mandatory" evacuations? Are they truly mandatory?

I saw a C-130 drop some slurry on the ridge line. That was pretty cool. Here's a couple more pics:
