#1 We have a friend that lives up there and they evacuated to a center, then the center had to evacuate when the fire made a run for their area. Now she has had to leave where she was because someone came down with COVID.

Fortunately snow is coming Saturday and Sunday and will tamp down these fires.

#2 Sounds like they have some good air support going, so long as the wind stays down.

Couple little sisters going in the area which have the potential to be a real problem for certain structures if the wind goes full arsehole out of the north. No bueno.

#3 Wind will be a problem until Saturday. We have a cold front, then warm front, then freezing front all hitting this week. Wind was bad yesterday and not good today. Saturday will be 76 and Sunday will be 23 and snowy. Most firefighters pulled back late yesterday and just left sprinklers on some structures due to the squirrely nature of the wind.

#4 The air quality in Estes is similar to being in Perry's bar and grill in the 60's
