    Default Hayden pass fire

    Figured it should get its own thread

    the hayden pass fire is at 5000 acres and still growing quickly

    it started On the San Isabel side of the sangre de Christo mountains but as the girl and I where leaving the valley had made it onto the rio grande

    also my mom is the district ranger down there and this will be her first fire as the ranger. She is a bit stressed

    Been breathing the smoke from it up here in The Springs most of the day ... reminds me of the smoke from the Waldo Canyon fire (reminds me a little too much).

    she will do just fine she has 28 years with the forest service including more than a few fires working on the hand crew
    working her way to district ranger

    we noticed it from their house around 2 and watched it blow up. We where able to see flames from over 40 miles away with the naked eye at one point.

    I have a cousin on the fire in Nederland and my little sister is on the medicine bow crew my dad and myself all worked wildland fire at one point so fire runs in the family

    Does anybody know of any forum members or families that need help? I'm obviously not in a position to directly help, but this forum is full of good people who always overwhelmingly overcome hard times with generosity.

    That's why it was so smokey at my place last night. I had to close the windows or else the house would have smelled like a camp fire.
