Month of Sept the hottest ever recorded ! Im probably about 100 miles away from Cameron peak fire and yesterday my whole car was covered in Ash . [/quote] We had a record breaking early snow five weeks ago and a hard freeze with it in the metro. Containment rate remained unchanged! Amazing, isn't it? Climate Change fires burn independent of weather/moisture or fire fighting efforts. They are super fires! UNSTOPPABLE!!! This is why we have to vote for Democrats!!! (<- sarc people) [/quote] Oh yea there was that too, 100 deg the day before and then snow and 31 deg. the next day, LoL ! [/quote]

A Colorado fire that's been burning since mid-August flared up anew Saturday amid warm, dry weather and high winds, prompting new mandatory evacuations, authorities said.
The Cameron Peak Fire, the largest wildfire in state history, burned through 187,537 acres with 57 percent containment, according to the U.S. Forest Service. The blaze west of Fort Collins thrived as gusty winds blew in ahead of a cold front.
