Arsen Starting Fires Here in Southern Colorado!

[nothingbutdarts]

You guys in the Springs take care and keep an eye out! It is just terrible all around. My front yard is nothing but, crunchy dry dead grass and it scares the heck out of me.

We just had 5 minutes of rain so light, it barely hit the ground and was evaporated. Thank goodness it's cloudy though. 14% humidity.

A little bit ago there was now a grass fire on the east side of the springs that had been reported at 60 acres.

Just doesn't seem to be a coincidence. I think there maybe more than one arsen, personally.

Also, I guess now there's one up north of Denver in Estes Park.

So far, 8 total forest fires that's been raging here in Colorado, that's not mentioning the multiple grass fires.

[Leadfoot]

I see some signs of rain heading your way. Hope all goes well.

 

[64 SRT8 Dart]

Well so far no structures or homes lost. Thanks firefighters!

That's terrible. My family drove from North Carolina to Utah and back to visit family in the Logan area when I was about 7. My brother and I loved Louis Lamour's western books and asked to go through at least part of CO. We went right through this area and it was probably the most beautiful place I've ever been. There's no excuse for people who destroy nature's most beautiful places like this.

Dang all that damage. I hope rain comes and helps put out the fires. For the person or persons that started all this. I hope you drop the soap a lot in prison.

more pics. the big rocks in front is the Garden of the Gods.

Sad just sad. Some *** thinks this is funny. Maybe he will get caught in one of the fires and become a crispy ex-arsonist. That would save the tax payers some money if he ever gets caught.

 

[MoparDaddy]

And im getting ready to move over there?! WTF am I thinking?!

 

[Bulldozer]

this is what the garden of the gods is supposed to look like. below is the same red rock

Right now we are looking at some pretty dark clouds. It hasn't dropped a drop yet.This whole state could use some serious rain. All of you close to the fires have our prayers.:coffee2:

Oh no!

I was fixing to say that the forest commission burns land on purpose around here..... so it will grow back will it not?

But houses are a different story.

they do controlled burns all the time to promote new growth, but this was arson
