Oh, dear! Here's what I found so far:
Quote: Summit Fire and U.S. Forest Service crews are responding to a 30-acre wildfire on Buffalo Mountain, near Silverthorne. https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/b ... o-evacuate ETA: Quote: The winds are strong so the fire will grow quickly and move quickly towards I-70. Smoke is already drifting over the interstate. If the fire gets close enough it might have to be closed. Stay tuned to @DenverChannel for the latest updates! 11:39 AM - Jun 12, 2018 https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/b ... o-evacuate _________________ Neighbors Helping Neighbors It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

Quote: The #BuffaloMountainFire is estimated at roughly 30 acres right now, and it is sending out embers that are setting spot fires within 250 feet of structures in Wildernest. https://www.facebook.com/groups/129326660448871/ _________________ Neighbors Helping Neighbors It's kind of fun to do the impossible.

Everyone probably knows this, but the fire is now contained
 Hopefully we can stay that way for the rest of the summer.
