[NorthCOVideo]

A lot of it is going to be Colorado State Patrol.

 

[NorthCOVideo]

Have heard that they are setting up shelters at Lochbuie elementary and the Fort Lupton middle school.

 

[swstow]

has it been real dry
so the fire can just feed

 

[NorthCOVideo]

Yep and suppose to be hotter with little rain, we just had a little storm roll through that didn't do much but possibly cause this fire.

 

[blackice]

I'm sure it was lightning caused. Just after 9:00 I was on the phone with a friend of mine, heard a loud pop on the phone followed by the thunder right after that.

Sounds like fire crews are clearing scene and moping up. Also letting residents return to their homes.
