Here in Pueblo West we got over a week of 100+*F temps and 3,500+ acres of burning woods in the mountains west of Springs. C-130 Hurcules aircraft flying retardant all day from Pueblo Airport to the mountains trying to contain this fire so it doesn't get to homes that people have been evaculated. This started Saturday and yesterday 4 new fires were started. High heat and dry woods are like a match stick but arson is suspected now. Shame on these crazy people who put lives in harms way!

Amen to that. C. Springs is/was my second home. The fire that is the major concern here in Utah is suspect of having been started by persons unknown. Homes have already been lost. But no loss of life, thank goodness. Firefighters are putting their lives on the line to contain this thing. "Shame on these crazy people who put lives in harms way!"
