Trust in God, technology and the massed manpower
of a firefighting fraternity.
You've only the weather to count on otherwise.

Our grounds are saturated with water. Hopefully some can be re-directed to Colorado and any other place in need. Prayers continue.

My prayers go out to you too... I just wish all of the rain we've been having here for the last week could move out to Colorado and everywhere else it's needed...

If no one noticed I am in Colorado also. Thank you one and all for your thoughts and prayers. I have spent most of the day with a group of friends helping to run water to the people we can so that they do not get dehydrated while fighting this blaze of hell. And I agree with you PF on your thoughts.
And now for an update. As of 10pm loacl time the Haymen fire is up to 90,000 acres and is now 5% contained. It is spreading west and southwest I think. Which means that it has moved back over itself, so it is easier to be contained. When I was near the site, it was not fun and there was so much ash and smoke falling. Someone commented that it reminded them of a volcano when it explodes, without the lava.
The Glenwood springs fire is over 10,500 acres I believe and not sure how much is contained on that one. But it is defintely being contained at this point. The main problem with all of these fires is the winds that don't seem to be slowing much.
But once again thank you one and all for oyur prayers and thoughts.

I live in bushfire country so I know how bad these things are. Last year an idiot throwing a cigarette out of his car window started a huge blaze that came within 100 metres of my house.
It is truly frightening and the way it jumped 400 metres was terrifying. some years ago half of Tasmania was ablaze and over 100 people died along with property and stock destroyed.
There are a growing number of idiots light them on purpose for whatever perverted pleasure they get out of it. They should be strung up by the balls.
So Sar and PF I hope things come under control very quickly. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys.

Well I am here tonight to sadly report that they discovered who started our biggest fire in history. A member of the US Forest Services started the fire when she was trying to burn a letter from her estranged husband. It appears that this lady received the letter that morning and while patrolling the campgrounds that night decided to burn the letter. She lit the letter with matches from her purse and set it into a fire circle. That was the cause of the biggest forest fire of Colorado. She was arrested today and will be brought before a Federal Magistrate tomorrow. The fire is now 47% contained, and if I heard the reports correctly, doesn't sound like it has spread any further.

Hearing about the Colorado fires even in the German news for the last days, frightening! My best wishes for good luck and strong will to all having to fight it!
