\"We'reMore latest-greatest from the Hayman Fire.<\/p>\n

  • The main thrust of the blaze seems to be to the south at the moment. There was a flurry of new, “extreme” activity yesterday afternoon down there. They’re now talking about it being up until September before they really have this fire knocked down. Not that they’re anywhere near containing it as yet. Temps are expected to remain reasonable, but the wind could pick up again this p.m.<\/p>\n
  • So far it’s cost about $20MM to battle the blaze. FEMA will pick up 75% of the costs.<\/p>\n
  • Douglas Co. (and south and west) was (and remains) one of the fastest-growing counties in the country. Much of that growth <\/a>is now in harm’s way.<\/p>\n
  • Governor Owens felt obliged to note on national TV:<\/p>\n

    “This fire is not going to endanger Denver itself,” Owens said during an interview with CNN. “I just flew over it, and, as bad as it is and as significant as it is, it’s still 20 or 30 miles from Denver, and there’s a lot of natural stoppage points . . . between Denver and the fire. The Denver metro area is safe.”<\/p>\n

  • Caller ID, Call Waiting, Selective Caller Acceptance and Telezappers are causing the sheriffs problems <\/a>as they try to use “Reverse 911” to notify people of evacuation orders. Huh. Never thought of that.\n
  • It looks like the fellow whose car was seen driving from the scene has been exonerated<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    I’ve often joked about Colorado being one of the safest places around to live, considering natural disasters. Except for the plains area, we don’t get tornadoes. No hurricanes. No earthquakes. Blizzards are extremely rare. No volcanoes.<\/p>\n

    But I guess we do <\/i>get wildfires …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
