Melanie wrtoe: I called Kirsten this afternoon. She called back later. The cell service in her area is spotty, due to the forest and usage by everyone who is trying to contact loved ones.Texting seems to work well.
Kirsten said that the residences near Garden of the Gods are in jeopardy. One of the businesses that has been in that area for the past hundred is years, is a complete loss.
Love you all. Mel

The fire was just across the valley from Julie (from her house to Fairview). Then Colorado Springs became a news item. Now they have a fire by Cedar City that has closed the freeway both directions. Of course, the other fires are also still going nuts. There is a huge fire burning up Huntington Canyon and they have evacuated Scofield. I have been waiting for Dog Valley to go up in smoke. It is the time of year that it usually burns.
