High Park Fire

On June 9, 2012 a small fire started in the High Park area. Initial reports stated it was a small 2 acre fire and that crews were in route. Not to long after that report the winds and dry climate turned that small fire into a fire fighter's nightmare. Many residents have been affected and so many are just waiting for information. The community has come together to help out so many whom have been affected. I have heard horror stories from some that have been affected. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of those families along with the men and women fighting to get control of what has become a very large very. At the last report just a little while ago the fire has grown to 37,000 acres, over 100 structures have been damaged or destroyed. Here are just a few photos that I have taken from my home and areas near my home. This morning I went outside and the mountains have completely disappeared. The fire as of right now has no containment and crews are working to evacuate as many as possible that may be in the way of the fire.
