Sure hope that works out OK for you. Luckily for me this year has been fairly wet and haven't had too many in our area to worry about.

The only good thing is the placement. To get from the ignition point to us the fire has to first get through a developed area. They will throw maximum resources at that area. Still, what will be, will be....

Good luck!
We almost lost our cabin 10 years ago when a 500 acre fire got to within a couple hundred yards of our cabin. Rain came just in time.

Hope they suppress it quickly! Looking on Watch Duty I see thevwind is blowing your direction. Not good! I know 2 years ago there was a just east of us, SE of Pagosa Springs, that was 16 miles away andvthat was scary enough! Ash raining down covering the rigs and lots of smoke.
Best of luck!!

DanG, how is there anything left to burn. Hope you come out ok. We have been very dry, down about 8" so far for the year, which is major. I hope we all get through this and the next couple of years with no support.
