Re: East Troublesome Fire in Colorado - Estes Park

Hey Guys.

The National Forrest Service shutdown all of the Forrest’s in Northern Colorado, extending south past I-70 (the counties along the divide).

Rich...also hear that the Evac has been extended for all of Estes and South to award on Highway 7. I’ve seen a few pictures like you posted in RMNP and it just makes me sick knowing this is all being lost to carelessness. Honestly..it was just waiting to happen though.

Heard an Incident Commander day that they fire isn’t being made worse by the Beatle kill...it being made worse by the extreme dry conditions. Apparently the needles on the trees are so dry (teamed with the tar being so flammable) it isn’t taking long for the trees to explode.

Saying a prayer for all of the folks affected by this stuff.
