Fire update; Overnight the fire has grown to 2500 acres. It was burning along the top of the mountain heading west. (The mountain runs from east to west). Now it is not only burning on top but it is now burning down the front of the mountain and people just west of our subdivision are being evacuated. They are saying that everything from Gothberg Rd (just to the west of us) and all the way back to Casper Mountain rd is to be evacuated. Folks, that includes US! Things are a little confusing now and we are not sure if this does include us. They are saying on the radio that there is no man power to go door to door. The only warning we will get is if the fire is coming down on us and they drive through saying get out now.

So, it seems a little surreal and we are not sure what we will do. Our neighbor behind us called and she is packing things.

If any of you are praying people, please pray and pray for all of us. Resources for fighting the fire are limited and not all of the help is here yet. Pray for our protection and that we have wisdom to make the right decisions.
