Update

Most Weld Co and Morgan Co units being released from around the area to return to their districts
The wind has died down considerably, allowing units to gain control or containment.

The fire at WCR 74 & WCR 93 consumed a mobile home and several semi trailers w/ telecomm
equipment.

Incident at WCR 49 and WCR 70 was just terminated, this was the structure/haystack fire.
FWIW this incident WCR49/WCR70 the smoke plum was visible from my home QTH in Severance
approximately 15 miles back to the west.

All dept that were on the fire on CR93 and 74 were Briggsdale, New Raymer, Pawnee, Nunn and Wiggins......Sterling was never called and Ft.Morgan had their own wildfire with Brush and Hillrose on it S of Ft. Morgan..A&W water service were on WCR93 and 80 with over 90,000gal of water...the mobile home was an abandon and was in the middle of the black so it was decided to let it burn out...Kick *** fire to be on that is for sure...

And also the tele. trailer that burnt was for the seismic exploring and was est. to be in the MILLIONS of dollars
