I live in Colorado and the beautiful state is burning down. There are evacuations all over the state, hundreds of homes have been burned down, and at least one known fatality =( If anyone else is affected by any of the fires, you and your families are in my thoughts! <3

    I have been through 2 fires in San Diego, the Cedar fire in 2003 took my parents house and a couple of my friends houses. Massive wildfires are very scary, I will never forget that week. I hope you stay safe!

    I just made a post about this and didnt notice this one. My MIL's cabin burned down in the High Park Fire, and I have friends who have lost their homes in the Waldo Canyon Fire. Its devastating. I am in Denver, and my heart is completely broken.

    Been Facebooking a friend for days who lives in Colorado Springs. They are a few miles from the evacuation zone. It's getting really scary.

    Luckily they have packed up and have a place to go. This sucks. :(

    At this point, I'm just watching it come down the side of the mountains towards the Interstate. Once it crosses that...Springs is done :-/

    I've been watching in horror. You are all in my prayers. Belle, do you have someplace to go? I know you just moved there, and other than your brother, your family is out east. :(

    I just moved from CO. It is truly sad that the landscape, wildlife, and people's homes are being overcome by these uncontrollable fires. Wish there was a better way to make it stop now, and I am sure they are doing all they can.

    I live in Denver and have been watching all the horrible videos on the news, etc. You can smell the smoke in the air. It's very scary!! Especially with family/friends living even closer to the areas affected. I'm definitely praying these fires will be under control soon!!! =(

    I'm shocked that after years and years of these gargantuan fires, those in charge have not devise any better containment plan? Everytime there's a fire, volunteer fire fighters come out with their squirt guns to battle these 100 foot flames.

    A few years ago in San Diego county, my parents, grandma, and uncle (they were neighbors) all had their houses burn down to ashes in a wildfire. It's hard to start over with nothing. Wishing the best for the people of Colorado!!! :heart:

    It's so sad. My dear friend had to leave her home earlier today with her family and pets.
