********************UPDATE*****************************************
Springer Fire
6/18/2012 450 acres this AM Hot, Dry and Very Windy today.
Will keep all of you posted. Thank you everyone for your prayers and concern.
The Lake George fire has grown to over 200 acres and it has jump the South Platte River. Evacuations within a 5 mile radius. (not me)
Need the winds to die down, they have helicopters (not my hubby) and tankers on it now. Will keep everyone posted as I know more.
Colorado Farmgirls please check in, there is a big fire as every knows in Ft. Collinks Colorado. We now have in the 11 mile reservoir Lake George area right now and they are evacuating 11 mile campground. Subdivisions in the area are on alert for evacuation. This is the next town over from me, close but not real close that we are in any danger.
We have Marilyn in Florissant, (she is fine, just talked to her) Nana Shirl in Kit Carson, CO, Grace in Larkspur, CJ is in Durango, we have Kathleen L. in Denver as well as a few other girls.
Connie has family in Loveland, CO. Any other Colorado Farmgirls that I have missed or am unaware of could you all check in and let us know you are alright.
I am starting this thread at the request of a farmgirl who is worried about all of us. Thank you Sherry.
Please keep everyone in your prayers especially all our firemen and women across the United States fighting fires.
Hugs,
Debbie
If you are lucky enough to live in the mountains you are lucky enough.

Thanks Debbie and thanks Sherry!
Actually I'm 50 miles west of Durango, which is way in the southwest corner of the state. We do not have any major fires in this part of the state at this time, BUT it is hotter than normal for this area and VERY, VERY dry!!!
Fire is a TERRIBLE thing! We lost our home and wooded area around it in an arson fire in July 1994, so we know, ALL TOO WELL that horrible trauma. I've watched it happen!! I'm praying for lives, for workers and for displaced families. It's a HUGE thing!
The fire near Ft. Collins has destroyed 55,000 acres and almost 200 homes and is billed as the most destructive wildfire in the history of Colorado.
I'M PRAYING . . . !!

I have an old friend, even though we haven't been in touch for ages now, who used to live in an area that is being evacuated. (Mill River, near Lory State Park outside of Bellvue.) Last time I heard from her she still owned the house but was living in the southwestern part of Colorado.
I always have the Interagency Fire Center's website bookmarked. Here is a link to it: http://www.nifc.gov/fireInfo/nfn.htm
Stay safe everyone!

And, dear Debbie is probably the closest one to the Springer Fire. Just talked to her and she is waiting and watchful, prepared to evacuate if necessary.
My daughter and I still plan to go visit her, leaving here on Wednesday. However, we may need to change our plans.
I'm just concerned for Debbie and her community.
Our farmgirl friend, Marilyn, is further east of Debbie and this fire, but she lives in the mountains as well.
I'M PRAYING!!
