Thanks Chris and a real concern, Duane Jenner also lives right around the corner from Bob and I Pray both their properties go untouched.

Yup. The NRA's Whittington Center on sight housing has been offered for displaced boy scouts and in general, people from the area.   A good deed. 
I am sure CNN and MSNBC will give the NRA some good press for their help in a time of need. 

CW truth be told and Sadly the only one who has the backbone to praise the NRA would probably just be Trump himself. I in my  67th. year of life have never seen so many in this country so unbelievably fearful of paddling up stream! They would much rather just continue going down stream and over the falls along with the rest of the blind now leading the way.

I just sent an e-mail to the President suggesting he put out a Tweet about the generosity of the Whittington for stepping up and giving these folks free room and board until they can return home.  His Tweets seem to carry a WHOLE lot of weight!!!!!

Doubt he ever sees it.  Some low level staffer will read and round file it.

Any update on the fire?

A couple of other links for this and all fires going on now. Click on the fire information on the NIFC site and you can see how many crews and helos etc are being employed to fight each fire. I am watching the 416 fire north of Durango where my brother lives. 
After evacuating my mom from the Colorado Springs Waldo Canyon fire a few years ago and a year later evacuating ourselves from the Black Forest fire - I would encourage anyone who even remotely thinks a fire might be headed their way to get their important stuff out right then!!!! Go rent a motel room or possibly a storage locker in a safe area, pack up your RV/trailer and drive it to a safe RV spot, but get your important stuff out early. It takes time to evacuate and those fires move EXTREMELY fast - don't wait for the evac order. Don't wait for the dreaded knock on the door. At least get your stuff out early to a safe place and then see what happens. If it gets worse then get yourself out! Traffic congestion alone can could be fatal - almost was in the Waldo Canyon fire for a lot of people trapped on a city street trying to flee at the last minute. You can always go get your stuff from your safe stash later. Easier than trying to replace irreplaceable firearms etc.  This is the time of year to have a 'go pack' already by the door with back up flash drives, important documents, pictures, change of clothes, etc ready to grab so you have more time to get the firearms out. In another couple of weeks the idiots in charge of my town will be allowing fireworks to be sold in the Safeway parking lot.  Yeah seriously - I went to the town meeting last year to try and stop that but all I got was "...and loose that revenue from the vendor?"
