Medevac (Air Link 1) off the ground and enroute to MCR with one.

At 7:00 am on June 16, 2012, a firefighter working on the High Park Fire was taken by life flight to a local hospital. The firefighter suffered a non-life threatening, medical emergency due to a pre-existing condition and is currently stable. The firefighter’s family and home unit are being contacted.

Channel 7 just had some footage from the ICP and a map in the background showed a CMD-4 repeater in use on the west end of the fire-

yup
I think they just ordered the evacuation of the entire Glacier View area at noon local - per the Larimer County feed - but they also said something about "tomorrow"

211 PM EDT - will do a pre alert for East of Glacier View Subdivison - everyone to be ready to leave at a moments notice

214 PM EDT - want everything south of Chimney Rock and Deer Meadow Way evacuated

Man Arrested for Impersonating Fireman

Contact: Larimer County Sheriff's Office
John Schulz, Public Information Officer
Public Information Office - 970-980-2501

Subject: Man Arrested for Impersonating Fireman
Date: 6/17/2012

A 30-year-old Denver man was arrested early this morning after being seen in the fire area in a truck with a stolen government license plate.

Michael Stillman Maher, DOB: 092481, was contacted inside the fire area by a wild land fire chief last night. Mr. Maher appeared to have phony firefighter credentials and was driving a silver Toyota Tacoma with a government license plate and lettering on the window. He was last seen leaving the area at about 10:30 p.m. on County Road 52E. Roving patrols were unable to locate him at that time.

Later the vehicle was spotted in Laporte, Colorado and deputies were able to locate Mr. Maher in a local bar. The government license plate turned out to be stolen from the Glenwood Springs area and there was stolen property in the vehicle as well as a firearm. The vehicle was registered to Mr. Maher.

Mark Maher was arrested for:

18-8-104 Obstructing Fire/Police M2
18-8-113 Impersonating Fire/Police M3
18-4-401(c) Theft F4
18-8-306 Attempt to Influence Public Servant F4

He is currently being held at the Larimer County Jail pending setting of bond.

The charge(s) are merely an accusation and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty

I also do not hear anything on the Rocky Mountain,USFS,Mountain Communities Feed...and haven't for days. Technical difficulties?

I have added the MCR AirLink frequencies mentioned in this thread and other threads to the Larimer County Fire/EMS feed. Here is a link to their webpage for more info also: air ambulance - medevac - Poudre Valley Health System, Ft Collins, Colorado (CO).
