416 Fire
| June 01, 2019 05:41PM |
Today is the anniversary of the start of the 416 Fire north of Durango, It burned 55,000 acres and was the 5th largest fire in Colorado history. It came within 1/2 mile of my home at one point and I was on pre-evacuation for 9 days. Fortunately no one was hurt and no structures lost. I photographed the DC9 and C130 slurry drops from my front porch.
