The fire is still huge here, but I think they're getting a handle on it. They may have containment by the start of next week.
I think the lost homes total around 267 at this point. There are shelters in town and they've set up an emergency center on the Colorado State Univ. campus. A number of CSU faculty and staff have lost homes. There are many animals sheltered at the county fairgrounds since most people could get horses and livestock out, and local animal shelters are loaded with house pets.
There are also many people in motor homes and staying with friends and in shelters - some have been out of their homes for 2+ weeks, and they don't know whether their surviving houses will be habitable when they return. And nearly 300 families have no place to go because their homes are gone.
The fires next to Colorado Springs and the new one in Boulder look like they're picking up momentum and they're pretty nasty.
And our forecast is for temps in the 99-100 degree range for the next week.
This will be a historic summer for fires in this state!
