I think at last count there were about 9 fires burning in Colorado. There are also a few within 100 miles of us in Utah, and of course the really nasty one in Arizona.
Last night I went outside about 8:00 and the sun was just a big red fireball. You could look directly at it because the smoke was so thick here in our valley. I don't remember the last time we had a clear day, or when you could go outside without smelling smoke. The fire planes (about 4 of them) fly in and out of our airport, refilling fuel and slurry, about every 20 to 30 minutes. I need to get a picture of one flying low right over our house. We won't be having any 4th of July fireworks here this year. Yet I still see morons throwing their cigarette butts out the window! There's a new song that's been recorded and is playing here on local country stations: "Colorado's Burning" Hope we get some rain soon. ~~Michelle

That brought up a good point. Any idea whether they are doing a fireworks display this year? Hadn't even thought of the fire ban.

I don't think any of the communities over here are doing displays. They've decided that it's just too dang dry.

fire....
There is a fire burning just east of town (Idaho Springs)....
It started last night sometime, and they are saying it is because of lightning. As of 4pm it was about 65 acres consumed. You can easily see it from I-70... Idaho Springs has canceled their annual fireworks show....first time it has ever been cancelled. Too bad....it is always a great fireworks display, with the town population doubling with visitors from Denver.... I know there will be fireworks after the Rockies game on the 4th and the 5th.....don't know what else the big city has planned.
