Re: Colorado Fires (Coal Seam & Hayman)
Just heard (11:00PM PDT) that there's no hope to contain it. As long as the weather holds, the fire has fuel, air, and temperature.
Crown fires are terrifying - fast as a running horse, flames leaping hundreds and hundreds of feet into the air, like gigantic rearing cobras. The undergrowth fires are bad enough, but a crown fire can take off and it seems as if the world has come to an end.
They kill the trees, too. Most fires leave them.
Hope you're out of the way.
