How long until Hickenlooper signs a statewide fire ban?

Black Forest Animal Shelter is under evacuation, too--this was from their FB page:

THE SANCTUARY IS UNDER EVACUATION! Flames can be seen from the property. If you have trailers, trucks, suvs, dogs crates, or anything that can transport an animal, even just one cat, please go immediately to the rescue! EVERYONE needs to be saved! The address of the rescue is 16750 Thompson Rd. Black Forest CO 80908. You can get there through Hodgen rd in Black Forest, just tell the Sheriff that you are helping evacuate the rescue. Once there are people there, it will be sorted out who brings what. The animals are going to Lotago Trails, but GO TO THE RESCUE FIRST! We need everyone possible to help. If you live in the area, but cannot help, SHARE THIS POST so we can get everyone to safety. Thank you!

I'm assuming that you've already evacuated? Wishing you the best.

It's looking a little better for us.

they just said on koaa that they heard the royal gorge bridge itself may have gone up in the fire, but they have no official confirmation. it is now over 3800 acres.

they have a dc-10 dropping retardant and my house is right in the flight path that thing sounds crazy hauling that much weight and that low. they said it's dropping 20,000 gallons a run, it is going back and forth about every 15-20 min

I can see the glow from the Black Forest fire. First time I have ever seen something like that very eerie.
