    Default Yet again, more smoke West of FC

    Taking care of the honney do list this morning and while mowing the yard, I see that there is yet again another plume of smoke rising West of Fort Collins. This one is further South of the other two fires so I'm pretty sure that it's a new one.

    Hope it gets shut down pretty quick!

    Oh man, I hope they get on that one quick too. Hope whoever lives in that area is safe

    I can see it currently from my work and the smoke is growing fast!

    We've had some serious wildfires down here in NM already. One is over 270k acres and is the largest wildfire in recorded NM history. It was started by lightning back in the middle of May. It sent lots of smoke my way and made going outside very painful.

    A new one just started this last Monday from lightning and its already over 10k acres. This one is only 30-40mi away from me (its just outside of Ruidoso) and we can see the smoke billowing up as well as the actual fire on the mountain at night.

    Sad thing is, this isn't even wildfire season yet, going to be a horrible season later this summer though!

    The smoke from this fire is pretty impressive. I first saw it heading into Estes from the south and then in my rear view mirror on the way to Greeley. It's definitely going to be a bad year for fires.

    Due to another thread, my opinion is null and void.
