Uh-Oh...."Controlled Burn" Gets Out-Of-Control

And there's been a mandatory evacuation declared.

This is up in the Red Feather Lakes area, about 30 miles Northwest of here.

The full story is here, at the North Forty News website.

Prayers sent for those living up there.....

    1. Definitely an OUCH moment.

      I'm going to continue to follow this and see if they release how it happened.

  2. That's sad, and just proof that even controlled burns can get out of control...

    1. The 'proscribed' burn was about 470 acres, and the wildfire was about 130 acres at last report.

Keep it civil, please....

Gloomy, Gritty, Grey Day

 At 1700 local it's as described in the headline; 30*F, 88% RH, completely overcast, snowing like crazy (small flakes, but lots of them)...
