You have probably been hearing about the forest fires lately in multiple states and obviously the large one in Coloardo Springs. We have a good size one about 50 miles from our house and 15 miles from my Main office I work at. This fire has been burning for about a week and has spread to about 30,000 Acres so far.
For the last 4 nights every time I come home our roof and deck has a layer of ash on it. The air is clogged with smoke and in some areas you can only see 1-2 miles because the smoke is so thick.
Take a look at the map below for reference. Also the area that is burning is a national forest thick with trees. It will not cross over all of that grassy plains to where we live. So don't worry Mom.
