Definitely not great. Think there might be some overlap with Cameron but this is from this afternoon at Fairview HS.

It has already crossed US 36! The map in the article is very scary.

Sounds like 3 of 5 roads to RMNP are closed- 34, 36, part of 7. Trail Ridge was reopened and 72 is open from Nederland. Many change hourly.

EDIT Change that to 4 of 5. Closures on Peak to Peak according to 9news.

At least 23 homes gone!
The fire that started Saturday in Lefthand Canyon was quickly brought under control by 24 aircraft sorties and $1 million dollars worth of fire retardant or Ward might be gone.
