Lately we’ve been hearing lots of news about the wild fires in the mountain ranges near us. Up in a canyon in Boulder near where Britton works and even closer, in Loveland. Colorado is really dry and arid and so when it gets hot like these last few months, the chance of fires really picks up. Plus with all the problems from the pine beetles, the trees are more susceptible than ever.

It’s made the skies turn hazy and during the worst of the fires you could smell “campfire” all the way down here in Greeley. A few people had their homes go up in flames, but overall, for now the blazes have been contained. The one good thing is that we get some awesome sunsets and an orange sun blaze.
