Larimer County wildfire

[Denverpilot]

Originally turned on the Larimer County RR feed to listen to POTUS stuff, and instead found they were working a wildfire, and have been for a while this evening.

Requested a SEAT and were rejected. Various agencies providing resources.

Two Divisions and they're moving West Division to VFIRE 21 as I type this.

Saw this fire coming home this evening as we exited the Big Thompson Canyon. From what I could see
while traveling east on Hwy 34 and from my QTH this appears to be just North of the Reservoir Road fire from last year. Hopefully they can use some of the previous burn area for anchor points.
Last report I heard is what Jimmn reported about 3 acres.

Also hearing traffic on Larimer Co Mut Aid 1 (4054)

Yeah, East Division was moved to Mutual Aid 1 about an hour and a half or more ago, West Division was on VFIRE 21.

Heard them talking about how they can't release city resources to work on it tomorrow until after 10:30 due to POTUS visit.

Beartrack Fire

Given this incident the name "Beartrack Fire".
Resources still showing up. Probably because the local resources can't be used until POTUS is gone.
The POTUS sure can create a bind for firefighting in Colorado, look at the Waldo Canyon fire.

updates as I hear them.

Where was the $10K a plate, dinner?

Whole bunch of Native Coloradoans at that one who grew up in Northern Colorado, I bet. Parking lot full of Pioneer license plates to run.

Two small wildfires sparked by lightning Tuesday in a remote area west of Loveland have created a challenge for emergency crews who continue to fight the blazes with limited resources.

The fires were estimated on Wednesday at 3 to 4 acres each, although exact measurements have not been determined.
