Good luck
Lots of homes up there :(
Holy shit. Good luck Summit County bros. That looks damn close to town.
EDIT:The City Council is meeting today at 3:45 to discuss closing all the city owned trails and open space. Once they make a decision I'll post a link here.Quote:

I’m in Mesa cortina. There’s a shitload of aircraft fighting this thing. 30 acres and growing apparently. We are on pre-Evacuating. I’m grabbing some family members and vehicles.
DC10s are big airplanes
Yeah dude. Especially when they fly over your house
I hope you are ok
shredgnar check PMs
2 very heavy tankers, 4 heavy tankers, MMA (command and control), and a Type 1 helo (sucks water out of the lake, drops it on the fire)
Now a Type III Incident
Damn. This area has a shitload of beetle kill too if I remember correctly, right?
Buffalo Mtn up to 90 acres
I'm working on the water line project that has Swan Mountain Road shut down today, so I cruised up the road. Fire is right up against some structures.

Wind is blowing in the direction of the neighborhood. Sucks. I have a lot of friends/family up there. I'm out now.
I believe I saw Blurred on his roof with a garden hose as I was leaving so at least we got that going for us. ;)
^^^^ I was waiting for someone to say that.
Good luck dudes, fingers crossed it stays in Eagles Nest.
Yes lots of dead stands of trees... I'm guessing the fire hitting those is what caused pillars of flames. Steep slopes into the drainage too. Its windy, warm, and dry.
But they did fuel mitigation up there in some areas near houses.
Probably over 1000 people are evac'd or pre-evac'd
Yea... if you could hurry up and open that, it'd be great ;)Quote:

From some satellite shots it looks like there was a fair amount of fire mitigation done on that side of the main body of structures; hopefully they can hold the line there.
I think they have more aircraft on this than they did on the Peak 2 fire. Hopefully the recent mitigation work keeps it from burning any houses. The wind isn’t helping though. Attachment 238753Attachment 238754

They’ve been refilling at the airport by my course all day.
As in the trailhead across Ryan gulch road from treehouse? Or the trailhead at the top of the road like you're going to ski silver? My folks have a treehouse condo, thankfully not around, but stressed.
