'nother fire

[crashdown]

I was on 120th and swear I saw the bolt of lightning that started it cuz one hour later I saw smoke coming from the exact spot. I thought it might be close to where we just moved so I raced home..... Yup, right across from our house.
Everyone is cutting trees and creating clear zones around their houses all around me.
Wish I could post pics, but no cell service to email pics to myself.
Gonna load up the guns before it gets dark. I don't think insurance will cover all the work Bert has done on them.
Wish me luck, we have only been up here for one week..... I don't want to go!

Here's pick from my backyard in Berthoud in took a few minutes ago.

0% percent chance of rain.......
Just had a huge RAIN storm pass over, looks like it really did a number on the fire.
Looks like steam is coming up, maybe a few small pockets of fire.
Planes are starting to pass over again to finish it off.

Our less than five minutes of not so stellar rain..............mother nature temping us then it throws out a rainbow just to rub shite in our faces...............

I am going to call the Goberment hotline and turn in mother nature for something illegal..................

Came up Coal Creek Canyon this afternoon. Every fire station had crews on hand.

Looks like the fire is spreading north and south. Also heading down Bear Canyon, behind NCAR.

From this afternoon.





Inteweb sucks tonight. I'll try to add more pics tomorrow.

our ranch is at the base of the mountain there that is on fire. we have all our trucks hooked up to our trailers just in case we need to get out. we watched it move over the ridge and down the front side of the flatirons. so scary to watch.

Can't speak for the east side of the mountain, but here on the west side there looks to be only a small fire still going. Looks like one or two trees burning, everything else is smoldering or steaming.... Not sure which.
