Fire up by Duchesne

Gator · Jul 2, 2018

Any of you guys having problems with it.
A friend called and said the 5.7 Acres, I have on Cedar is in the path.
Over 30,000 acres burnt already is what they told me.

From what I saw on the news and talking to friends up there. That fire has taken off. It quickly became the biggest fire in the state. Not a good year for our mountains. Everyone needs to be extra careful. Pray for rain.

Yes Gator!

Even Though I Never Pin-Pointed Your Property!

The Fire is Headed that Way!

Winds were Ridiculous yesterday Afternoon!

The Smoke & Ash was making everybody Inhale!

Probably the Driest/Warmest in History Ain't Helping Matters!

They said Several Structures Burnt yesterday to the South West of your Property!

Total Evacuation around your Property with the Exception of some of the Cedar Rats claiming they Ain't Leaving!

Them Boys are Fools!

That would explain the smoke around Rangely. Didn't realize how big the blaze has become. Red flag warning for today too with more warnings likely.

Overnight the sheriff department re-estimated to 16K acres (down from 30K acres)

Now the fire guys are sticking with their $30K estimate.

0% contained - watch out

We are having the same fire conditions in SE New Mexico and our ignorant co government will not ban fireworks in the county this year. The city banned them so guess where all the dumbasses are going to be shooting them off at. They don't care because its not their houses that will burn up.

Gator · Jul 3, 2018

Yep the 2 packrats next door had until July 27th to clean up their places, Now it looks like it will just burn up everything. Both places was a huge fire hazard.
Their places have tons of raw materials that will make a huge fire.
old barrels of oil, hundreds of old tires (claim he was going to build a house with them), old lumber piles, Lots of wood pallets,old cars,Etc

I sure you was standing on the property, when the guy next door told ya he owned it. LOL

My daughter and Sil came through that way on Sat and they had some really heavy rains come down. Did that help with knocking down the fire some.
I hope that rain reached some of the fire.

This Afternoon Another Fire Started in Talmage fairly Close to My Brothers House!

The Good Thing was there were a Few of the Dollar Ridge FireFighters,a couple Choppers & a couple Small Fire Retardant Planes that Hit it Perty Quick!

Mostly contained with alot of Hot Spots!

We Heard a Local Lost a Big Hay Stack!

We didn't hear of any Houses being Burnt but We're Not sure?

Fighting fires makes more money then control burns.

The Problem with So Called 'Controlled' Burns is:

They are 'Un-Controlled' Burns!

If they would do them often it wouldn't be a uncontrolled thing... everything would benefit, except the money like gator said.
