Today's Events:
Firefighters were able to construct direct line in Sand Gulch from Hwy 24 towards Rampart Ridge Road last night. The fire grew little overnight due to favorable weather conditions. There was isolated torching of trees in the middle of the northwest portion of the fire where oak brush has not completely burned. On the south perimeter, firefighters were able to construct direct line to secure areas of fire.
Direct line construction will continue today on the south perimeter to secure this area. Firefighters will continue to construct direct line in the Sand Gulch area. Structure protection will continue along Hwy 24. To the northwest of this line construction, three locations have been identified as contingencies where firefighters would be able to burn off from, if necessary, to protect the community of Woodland Park. A structure protection group will continue preparation work on the east side of Woodland Park today. Crews will work to construct line from the spot fire north of Rampart Reservoir to the southeast to tie in with the main north flank of the fire.
On the East flank, the primary focus is on structure protection, improving existing line, fire control and mop-up. Firefighters will provide structure protection and initial attack along the eastern boundary of the fire. These activities and resources are being coordinated with the City of Colorado Springs and the Air Force Academy. All resources assigned within Colorado Springs City limits are under the direction of the Colorado Springs Fire Department. Structure protection will continue at Eagle Lake Camp. Firefighters are securing and holding the line from Rampart Reservoir south to Rampart Range Road. Crews will continue structure protection in Cedar Heights subdivision and construct line from the quarry north to the castle.

Yep, we're smokin here in the Centennial state.
Another hot day today maybe up to 105 in the Denver area, the 5th day in row of above 100 and we are bone dry.
Right now we will welcome that hurricane that is hitting FL but it don't look like it will make a left turn and head this way.
At least our monsoon season should start in a week or two.

Have been following from afar. Have cousins in Colorado, who have kept me updated to their areas... Colorado Springs and cousins in Denver. A good rain would sure be a welcomed sight, wouldn't it?.
Number of homes/cabins lost in the High Park Fire is up to 257. Just read they found 9 more homes that had burned to the ground.
