    This shit is terrible. Forest type fires are inevitable, but folks that buy homes in the suburbs don't usually bet on these things intentionally. Seems that they are starting to shut down some hot spots to keep the spread down at least.

    Offer stands. Can accommodate up to 2 dogs, or other small animals (including fish-in a pinch), no cats, but can assemble a small corral for a big critter. Vehicles, trailers, rvs, campers, etc welcome.

    If this bitch runs across the former Rocky Flats property I am sure glad I don’t live downwind.
    When they were cleaning it up and trucking out waste at a meeting I went to with the contractor collateral contamination became a topic of discussion.
    Fire was one of their worst fears, not only could contamination (plutonium) be released directly by the fire on the ground but it would remove ground cover which helps keep it pinned down.
    Funny how the media hasn’t touched on that.

    Default Priority #1

    Plutonium is about the most toxic thing on the earth. Whatever they do, the authorities have to prevent a fire on the Rocky Flats Arsenal grounds. It would be better if they have to bulldoze all the vegetation, than let it burn.

    Although, if it burned, it's not their fault

    I know we have members who live in the area and with family in the area.
    I sincerely hope all are safe and properties are intact.

    I want to thank all of you that offered to help. There are several ranchers in that area with cattle and horses. I did see a caravan of horse trailers on the news so hopefully they got as many out as possible, maybe some of you were in that caravan. We had to evacuate my Mother in Law from Louisville and start Pre-Evacuation where I live in Lafayette. I could see the fire from my house which was a little too close for my liking. It made me realize I've got too much stuff. I'll probably have a Fire Sale in the near future, lol.
    Stay Safe!

    Just looked at the evac map and my son's place is in it. Must have included it after I went to bed. He's in South Dakota until Sunday.
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

    Perfectly stated.

    I've been trying to think of something meaningful to say, or offer, to our members who are effected by this horrific event but nothing I could come up with came off as anything more than platitudes.

    This event is terrible and many peoples lives are being destroyed by it. If there is anything we as a site, or I as an individual can do to help, please let us know.
