Do they know a cause yet? I sure hope that it was not set by the idiot that has been trying to start one up there.

New voluntary evacs for Allegheny east to I-25, north to the Air Force Academy.
Also it was being called the Pyramid mountain fire in error, when someone gets a chance could you change the thread name to Waldo Canyon Fire.

Seems like alot of misinformation or conflicting information going around including csfd and forest service fighting over the name of the fire ( csfd refering to it as pyramid and forest service waldo canyon) also inciweb is reporting that the SO is evacuating manitou springs but local news is reporting that the SO is unaware of evacs for manitou.

Heard the type 1 Team was en-route from Fort Collins

Would it be time for Hahnenberg's Type I team to rotate out of the High Park Fire?
If they were going to rotate out, it would make sense that there was a replacement Type I IMT arriving in Ft. Collins. Perhaps they were diverted?
If I was RMACC, I'd be finding any reason to capture resources and keep them occupied in the region.

Another fire was reported around 18:00 5 miles south of the Waldo / Pyramid Fire. Somewhere north and west of Seven Falls. It looked like Colorado Springs Fire (Engine 11 and others) were staged at the split in the road between Seven Falls and the Starsmore Discovery Center Parking lot.
I hear Engine / Brush 4, and Engine / Brush 13 on the online feed, walking in. Met with a Park Ranger, reporting that the has been put out by locals. Better location is along a "Columbine Trail" off of Cheyenne Canyon.

One wonders if these are the work of the arsonist they have been talking about down there , Ranks one step above a child molester
Type I IMT (Harvey) to Waldo. New Type I IMT (Lund) to High Park.

L.c.e.s.
I'm hearing scanner traffic directed to Task Force 1 to be ready to pull out. They're talking about structure protection and letting spots go if they're well inside the green area.
Lookouts reporting "significant embers falling", I believe in the Cedar Heights area. Advising units to be ready to leave now, stating that if they don't they may loose egress to the west. Fire is making a run at the ridge.
These are reports from the Brush trucks working alongside dozers.
A weather spotter reported temperature was 80 (and it's almost midnight)

Yep its not sounding good, hopefully they can hold the dozer line, but the way it sounds its just going to spot over it. most recent update from the forest service is 2500 acres 0% containment. I can see flames from my house in colorado springs.
