It's up over 9,000 acres now, about 14.5 miles in area, and roughly 8% contained.
Compared to Fort Collins, it's big.
But not nearly as big as the Cameron Peak fire in 2020, which was 208,000 acres.
My "PiAware" setup is working perfectly, allowing me to see where the air traffic for the fire is headed.

ReplyDeleteSo are we.
DeleteNo rain in sight.
ReplyDelete40% chance on Sunday. There was some coming in from the North today, and from the radar maps it looks like at least some of it was over the fire. I'd noticed the tankers had stopped flying, and then I checked the NEXRAD weather radar. Sure looked like some showers went over it. Whether any made it to the ground is another thing.....
DeleteLet's hope they get it under control before it goes nuts.
ReplyDeleteIt's about 60% contained. They got some rain yesterday, and the fire burned to the previous burn scar from 4 years ago, and ran out of fuel there.
