Yikes, Stephanie.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

Suzi, it's a new one. I think the High Park one is near Ft. Collins? This one is called the Waldo Canyon Fire. the WC fire started at about noon today. Over 1000 acres burned so far; 1050 homes evacuated.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Good grief, Stephanie. "Scary" is an understatement.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good luck, Stephanie.

As of 9m ago, twitter says 2000 acres, 0% contained. I signed up for reverse 911 calling just in case.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Yikes, Stephanie, stay safe! Twitter and reverse 911 services are such a boon for stuff like that.

Inciweb is my favorite resource for general overview info of the specific fires. Last year we had some really good local coverage for ours, but Inciweb has everything.

Liese, we used that last year for the Conchas fire in NM near my parents. It was a huge help. I actually had a FB friend send me a really detailed map. He works for FEMA or Northcom or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I work in the other direction now, but the fires recently seemed to not affect the city as much. When Simi Valley was on fire (yeah, when I went out and looked in two direction at burning horizon I just went home. That's not even a discussion I felt I needed to have with my boss.) the fires ran high hot and close enough that there was ash in West LA. And there were similar fires one of the last times my father came out here, but thankfully not so bad since.
