Still yet another fire in Colorado....we are SOOOO dry right now....we are 43" below average for this time of year :maddening:

This fire is currently burning, 10,000 have been notified to evacuate. VERY dramatic footage

70% Contained, and thank God!!! I used to work in Parker, just north of the fire, and many of my old co workers were part of the evacuation...

But just because 1 is contained, it doesn't offer much relief, they are popping up all over our state, and with the high winds, and how dry it is? Wow, it is only March....
