Colorado Wildfires Rage Out of Control: Here is a Mapping of The Wildfires for the Past Few Days
Things are heating up and getting really hectic in Colorado. Wild fires continue to rage and threaten thousand of homes and families. The mapping of the fire near Pikes Peak and it’s spread per day is shown below. In addition a few small fires near Boulder Colorado have also sprung up in the past few days. Colorado is now in Danger North, South and West. We are hoping for some more heavy rain to come our way soon to help with the fire fighting efforts. Several groups are holding minor and major charity events to help supply food, water and supplies to the families that have been displaced. We are also taking donations to help efforts. You can write in your own amount for even as little as $1 US.
