I guess it jumped from a couple hundred acres to over 5,000 in a flash. As an comparison the previous fire last week took over a week to get to the same numbers. This on is pretty scary right now as they haven't even been able to stage properly to plan an attack. Every time they get to a location to stage the fire is already upon them. Some very scary situations happening today with our own Sheriff and other deputies attempting to evacuate residents safely and my hats off to those who keep our communities safe. There really are some great men out there saving lives. Here's to hoping everyone stays safe and they get things under control sooner than later.

Some incredible footage from overnight. 8K-10K acres estimated and usually a fire lays down overnight.
This one has not. An interview with a resident said the entire area is strife with beetle kill. That stuff burns hot and fast.
Video looks like a firestorm.

One of board members here and arfcom was doing communication work there yesterday.
A woman we know evac'ed her horses last night and staying with some other friends down the block.
This is insane with the dry, windy conditions. They have evacuated bellvue and we are trying to get in touch with some other friends who live in the area.

My parents are staying the weekend in the Cherokee park area, I talked to them last night and they said the smoke cloud was huge.
Just call me 47
I hope they can get this fire under control soon. I used to work at the Sky Corral Guest Ranch. That is some beautiful country and great people up in that area.
Yesterday evening we were drive down I-25 and saw a CH-54 landing at the Ft. Collins/Loveland airport so we drove over to look at it refueling to go back out to fight the fire.
Up to 12k acres now.
