another fire

[in4aride]

Been watching the smoke plume up over the peak for some time now. hwy24 is closed and people already evacuated from 11mile lake George area

About 15 miles due west of our home. Apparently started at noon and early reports are that gunshots were heard and then an explosion. Authorities are thinking that someone may have been shooting at a propane tank and hit it. Since noon it's now 200+ acres and zero containment. Headed my way. It's a mad house up here in Teller right now.

Prolly fueled by the douche shooting shows that constantly blow things up in random vacant properties. yes. totally playing that card.

if you need any help gimme a shout bud.

 

[riverfever]

Douche. That's exactly the word I used to describe someone shooting at a propane tank Mike.

It's one thing seeing pics from the High Park Fire or others and another to see it from the deck of my house. A bit frightening. I've got multiple friends that have already been evacuated. I think this is going to bad.

Well just north of 24 is all beetle kill too. so is gonna get jot just like up north. the winds and temps due next couple of days isn't gonna help. again. if you need any help give me a buzz. if im at work im tied up but after or at night you can use me for any help ya need.

 

[DutchVDub]

I guess I'm going to get busier.

Good luck River, and keep safe.

People camped out that way last night and earlier today say they heard a ton of gun shots. Also just heard that American Guns was shooting an episode in that area.

 

[DutchVDub]

Thats it, sue Discovery Channel. They obviously started the fire, its all their fault.

 

[in4aride]

Well IF thats true that isnt gonna help our situation with shooting being allowed anywhere anymore. Oh well. Ive got a new 'private' range to go to now so Im over it.

 

[riverfever]

Another fire in town. Close enough to watch from the deck too.

 

[Joe94xj]

Watching it at work. It is growing quick. Good luck to everyone out there.

 

[riverfever]

It is scary how quickly this one is growing. I have some pretty crazy pics.

 

[Joe94xj]

I can now see flames coming over the top and the sun is now gone.

 

[in4aride]

There is a good wind today too.

 

[riverfever]
