Although the smoke is making for some beautiful photo ops, it is truly the barer of bad tidings. Friday's temps were in the upper 90's with more of the same due today. We are also under a Red Flag warning as the winds are expected to kick up. Yesterday, the fire jumped the Poudre Canyon to start a very rapidly spreading spot fire near subdivisions. Many new evacuations were ordered for the Glacier View Area - including the photographer's cabin.
The firefighters are really doing their best, but the fire got a jump on them yesterday and containment was decreased. Let's continue to pray for the safety of everyone involved!
There was a good article on yesterday's fire happenings in the Coloradoan:
