Super User roadwarrior Posted October 24, 2020 Super User Posted October 24, 2020 Looks like you might get enough snow to put the fire out. Quote

The close fire was contained with the cold front. Big wind today so the giant Troublesome Fire to the W is being watched. If it links with the also giant Cameron Fire E of the divide, Rocky Mt Nat Park could burn. Unprecedented fire season. Never so late in the year either. Heart goes out to all involved. Thank God everything is OK, wild fires are so scary moving so fast. Tom Quote

It'll help the crews get some containment. Our fire chief, during the 2010 fire here, told me that 10" of snow would have to stay a month to fully douse it. So much fuel, so hot, the fire smolders underground for weeks, only to pop up with wind. So crews will be on this for weeks to come. At least they get a breather. Hoping the drought is over. Next week looks dry again. ? Cmon snow! On 10/24/2020 at 4:36 PM, WRB said: Thank God everything is OK, wild fires are so scary moving so fast. Tom Thanks, Tom. Yes, these fires have literally exploded, gaining as much as 100,000ac in a single day! That took everyone by surprise, even the pros. Cmon snow!! 3 Quote

BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted October 26, 2020 BassResource.com Administrator Posted October 26, 2020 It's been a rough fire season for sure. Glad you were spared. Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted October 26, 2020 Author Super User Posted October 26, 2020 Thanks all for the good thoughts. Some winter weather has finally come, 10" of snow and right around 0F. Lots of work to be done yet on the big fires, but headway can now be made. My area is now most likely safe for the season. 8 Quote
