That video is something. They burn off fram land were I live but its nothing like that.
yeah, that video doesn't really do a good job of demonstrating how serious it is. I'm WAY closer to the mountains than she is in that shot, so the smoke literally covers like 80% of the sky from where I am. This morning it seemed like it was foggy except for the disgusting smell.
Oh, and now we're up to 8,000 acres
What do they do about fires like this?
Do they just let it burn out?
Is they anything they do to contain it/ prevent it from spreading?

oh yeah they do a fuck ton. Last time they let a fire burn itself out it took out over 2.5million acres in yellowstone in 1988. We have 150 firefighters on the ground digging firelines and cutting down trees ahead of the blaze to reduce the fuel load. Also about 15 tanker planes and helicopters dropping slurry and water on it from the air as well as around 50 standard firetrucks on the ground spraying water.
I've been watching C-130's fly over my house all day dropping this shit;
 
We're just lucky we have an airforce and an army base in this state so we have access to the huge planes instead of the small ones in those pictures.

Hope everything goes well Harry, if they tell you to evacuate then get your shit and go. Last year was a huge black spot in Australian history with the Victorian bushfires, people were unprepared and uninformed of the risk of staying, so lots of people either died, luckily I wasn't even near it.
But once again, hope all is well, and that the fire is handled before it gets too close

I think Im far enough away from boulder that I won't be effected, but you can sure smell it. Smells like a camp fire and is a little foggy here from the fires. The winds sure havn't ben helping.

Sorry to hear about the fire. That's horrible. At least 8000 acres is a lot better than 2.5 million acres. It's hard to even imagine that sort of damage. Was the 2.5 million in 1988 all forest?

One of my friends is going to CU.
She is just east of the evac line.
I'm planning on moving out there in the next week or two, looks like I have to drive through Wyoming to get there.
