Wow! I remember this fire now. My brother-in-law almost lost his house in the Louisville Colorado fire about 2 years ago (around Christmas). Almost 500 houses burned in that one. You are so lucky to get out and thank you for your well-thought out list of things to do BEFORE. I hope you are in safe place now.
Thank you Jenn. Glad to know your brother-in-law didn't lose his home. I remember that fire. Seems like there is one every few years or so. And we are still on the same property but there are fewer trees around us, so it feels safer. Appreciate your comment!
Thank you for sharing your firsthand perspective of the Black Forest Fire. Because I was originally from Iowa, I'd never experienced a wildfire until Waldo Canyon. Then to have another one the next year? Unreal. I took freeze up when it hasn't rained and you smell smoke. We've learned a lot of lessons in that time.
