Contrary to my previous post in the other Springer thread, there apparently is only one fire, the Springer.

Mandatory evacuations just ordered in Park County. They're for a 5 mile radius around the Wagon Tongue Subdivision. That includes Wagon Tongue, Echo Valley, Circle C Ranch and Beaver Ranch. We have word that more evacuations will be ordered soon for Teller County.
