I just got an evacuation notice for a fire

[Boing]

You have a place to go, should you have to?

Yeah. Right now I'm back outside the evac zone. The fire looks like it started about 1/2 mile from a Colorado Springs fire station.

Looks like they got a bunch of units on scene quickly

 

[Boing]

Be safe man, stuff can be replaced. Don't try to be a hero.

I was told to blast it with piss and I will not let OT down should it come to this.

I try not to, but can't help it.

anywhere near Altamont Ridge Dr?

Not really, that's pretty far north - almost to Monument. Probably 10ish miles.

Fire department just said the fire still isn't contained, but no houses have been lost just some fences and some damage to a few homes.

 

[Mammoth]

Fingers crossed for you, @Boing. Hope no one gets hurt and you don't lose your home. Can't imagine the stress you're going through right now. Stay safe.

[Scoob_13]

[Keksimus]

Looks like it's already passed your property? I assume that's your backyard in the first three pics. If it were me I'd just stay home

What if it came back tho like wait I forgot bout chu

So there was another fire on the other side of the city. Eight homes burned down so far.
