Aspen Acres 🔥 HOW MUCH THAT FIRE HAS GROWN OVER THAT HILL OVER ON TABLETOP MOUNTAIN OVER THERE, YOU CAN SEE IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. THAT SMOKE IS JUST THICK THIS MORNING. IT'S ALL ON THAT RIDGE LINE. AND YOU CAN STILL SEE FIRE RIGHT HERE AS WELL, TOO. THERE'S ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR PLUMES OF SMOKE COMING UP OVER THERE. ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, FIVE PLUMES OF SMOKE COMING UP OVER THERE TOWARDS COLORADO CITY AND RYE. UH, THEY DEFINITELY PUT SOME OF THE BIRDS UP IN THE AIR YESTERDAY, AND THEY FOCUSED ON SPECIFICALLY THE COLORADO CITY RYE SIDE. AND I THINK THAT THEY'RE LETTING THIS SIDE KIND OF BURN A LITTLE BIT. THEY NORMALLY WANNA GET IT OUT OF THE TREES AND LET IT GET IT DOWN INTO THE PLAINS. THAT WAY IT'S EASIER TO DEAL WITH AND EASIER TO PUT OUT. THE BEULAH FIRE DEPARTMENT IS ACTUALLY GOT A BUNCH OF UPGRADED EQUIPMENT. AND I KNOW THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE ABLE TO HANDLE THIS AS SOON AS WE CAN GET IN THE HILLS A 12 MILE, THEY ARE SUPER STEEP. VERY, VERY STEEP. SO GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF OUR BRAVE MEN AND WOMEN OUT THERE FIGHTING THOSE FIRES. EVERYBODY ON THIS SIDE IS WISHING YOU LUCK, AND WE APPRECIATE YOU MORE THAN YOU KNOW. HEY, GOD BLESS. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELVES AND BE

Hey, good morning, everybody. Here we are again with another update. I wanna show you everything that happened last night. It is absolutely freaking just all smoke out there right now. I'm gonna actually put a picture up so you can see what last night before I went to bed. In the valley, it filled up with smoke last night. We couldn't see anything. I was absolutely just nervous watching that Watch Duty app, making sure that it wasn't creeping any closer. We got a bunch of boys out here that are putting out hot spots out on Water Barrel Road all the way over to Three Burnt Crows. Hey, make sure that you're sharing that way you can get it out to everybody. I saw last night that they actually started evacuating everybody in Silver Cliff and that they're probably starting to think about Canyon City as well, too. And over here, I can't believe how much that fire has grown over that hill. Over on Tabletop Mountain over there, you can see it is absolutely crazy. That smoke is just thick this morning. It's all on that ridge line. And you can still see fire right here as well, too. There's one, two, three, four plumes of smoke coming up over there. One, two, three, four, five plumes of smoke coming up over there towards Colorado City and Rye. Uh, they definitely put some of the birds up in the air yesterday, and they focused on specifically the Colorado City Rye side. And I think that they're letting this side kind of burn a little bit. They normally wanna get it out of the trees and let it get it down into the plains. That way it's easier to deal with and easier to put out. The Beulah Fire Department is actually got a bunch of upgraded equipment. And I know that they're gonna be able to handle this as soon as we can get in the hills a 12 mile, they are super steep. Very, very steep. So good luck to all of our brave men and women out there fighting those fires. Everybody on this side is wishing you luck, and we appreciate you more than you know. Hey, God bless. Take care of yourselves and be
