    Holy S#!%! The fire started heading South last night toward Manitou Springs! All of Manitou is under mandatory evacuation. The fire has now forced 7000 evacuations and has burned more than 2500 acres.

    Forum members, if you are being evac'd and don't have a place to stay, please PM me.

    I'm in Pleasant Valley (south of the east entrance to Garden of the Gods, less than a mile south of Gateway road).

    I'm sure the fire will never get here but we're on edge waiting to see of we get stuck with an evacuation order anyway.

    Just like the other thread; if anyone needs help evacuating guns and animals, let me know.

    So that's eerie ... watching Channel 11 and they show a tanker plane flying over the fire ... and we can hear the tanker plane outside at the same time.

    Default Waldo Canyon Fire

    Didn't see any general threads about this; mods, feel free to merge if I missed them.

    Prayers to those fighting and those affected!

    View from my front porch (about 12 miles from the fire) @ 2:20pm:

    Later that evening - notice the heat pushing the clouds away:

    i just read on 9news (11am) that they are evacuating the ENTIRE TOWN of Manitou Springs

    holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    http://www.9news.com/news/article/27...ess-conference

    The entire town of Manitou Springs was evacuated as the Waldo Canyon Fire continues to burn. Mandatory evacuation orders were issued Sunday for Green Mountain Falls, Chipita Park and Cascade.
    More than 10,000 people in the area have been ordered to evacuate.
    The fire is burning near Waldo Canyon off of Highway 24 and is at zero percent containment. The fire is at 2,000 acres and growing. Smoke can be seen from the Denver area.
    No structures have been burned and no injuries have been reported.
    About 400 people are working the fire, just to the west of Colorado Springs.
    Garden of the Gods Park and Garden of the Gods Visitor Center are closed.
    Roads going into Manitou Springs are closed. Pikes Peak Highway is closed.
    The Cedar Heights subdivision and Mountain Shadows south of Chuck Wagon are under mandatory evacuation. The evacuation boundaries include Rampart Range Road and everything west of 30th and Centennial, from Gateway Road, north to Chuck Wagon.
