HuskerNCo Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 Can see the smoke from my home in Longmont. Attached is a link to 9NEWS out of Denver. Thoughts and prayers to those that live in the 4-Mile Canyon area. Pretty scary. http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=151618&catid=339 Quote Link to comment
HuskerNCo Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 UPDATE Multiple homes have burned including those of 4 firemen currently fighting the fire. Estimates put the acreage burned at over 3000. No containment yet. Quote Link to comment

WCHusker Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 92 structures gone, probably actually closer to twice that 7100 acres as of noon They'll find a few bodies in this once it's all over with-there were apparently quite a few people who refused to leave Quote Link to comment
RockyMountainOySker Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Holy crap. I spent a night at a cabin in 4-mile cabin last fall. I hope it's still around....beautiful place. Quote Link to comment
HuskerNCo Posted September 8, 2010 Author Share Posted September 8, 2010 http://www.9news.com/news/article.aspx?storyid=151803&catid=339 latest link to 9NEWS. It's horrible. Tankers are flying out of Broomfield airport ever 20 minutes. 70+ subdivisions evacuated. The terrain is very rugged and steep making it a very very difficult fire to fight. Winds are expected to pick up some today as well. No containment as far as I know. Quote Link to comment
