Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
How stupid/careless/ass hat do you have to be to still think a big campfire is good to go when a forest fire is burning near by?
I want my mountains back...
I had a company contact me about shooting a photo for an ad last year and they wanted a campfire scene in the forest. I told them that it was out of the question to shoot that in CO in the Summer as the risk was too high. The company was in VA and they simply did not understand why that was such an issue.Originally Posted by .455_Hunter
We've had a relatively quiet couple of years in terms of fire but one careless vagabond in the woods can really cause a lot of trouble.
I don't know about you, but when I'm camping, I'm not browsing the news.
"There are no finger prints under water."
True, but you can see the forest fire. Would give most people a pretty good clue.
Do you go into the mountains with a clue to the conditions? Not trying to be an ass but there are precautions.

Me? Not usually because I rarely ever camp, but that's a valid point. I got the impression from this thread that the fire ban was put into place after the fire started, so if they were already camping, I wouldn't expect them to know. I only know what had been posted in here though.
"There are no finger prints under water."
Yes, the fire ban was releases today. The fires the sheriffs dept are chasing are not small campfires.
Everyone is super vigilant today.
As usual, Gordon Gulch is at the center of the cluster faux.

Come on- West Magnolia wants a turn too...
West Mag. is so far past the "give a faux" stage it's not even funny.

I've got a spare backpack if you want to give it a whirl...
