Wednesday Morning Gap Fire Update

7:00 am

They are calling it the "Gap Fire."

The only news is that summer school classes at Dos Pueblos High School have been cancelled as the school is being used as a command center for the fire fighting effort. Erin: "YES!"

I smelled smoke finally when I woke up. I hear aircraft up there. The weather is bright and sunny but there is no wind. As of now, the fire is about 200 acres. Flames 15-20 feet high. It is in rugged, steep terrain. The cause is said to be human-caused, but no other information.

We're hanging tight.

This is a better link for news. You can see picutres from a link there.

My heart is in my throat. Wildfires freak me out. People up here still can't talk about the Cerro Grande Fire.

Stay safe, Littles!
