Our neighbors in Durango are burning right now- prayers are appreciated.
416 Fire first reported Friday @ 10:00a burning +/- 100 acres. Saturday 10:00am it had already eclipsed 1500+ acres. 500+ homes evacuated. Fire is on the west side of the highway right now, spreading through the National Forrest. Structures are in danger as well, from what I hear.
We are doing everything we can to help- found some places for some evacuated horses and livestock. Trying to put together a relief station for the crews working this thing. Firefighter I talked to earlier today said that the fire was mostly in the underbrush- but they had some very strong winds push some incredibly hot runs into the canopy. Have some very distant satellite fires popping up already.
Smoke was low and thick over my house last night- and I'm a solid 60 miles from the fire. Blowing a little north of me today, but I can still see it.
