Prisoners at state prison in Canon City are on stand-by to be evacuated.

Because of the Royal Gorge fire.

The Black Forest fire, north of Colorado Springs, is still 0% contained. They are still attempting to get everyone evacuated.

Reminiscent of the fires of a year ago..

This is all that is on TV in Colorado Springs.

1. My Nephew and his family have evacuated from Black Forest.

I have all the windows closed and the air conditioner block with heavy wet towels and can still smell the smoke.

2. Are you in Monument?

I'm in the old North End.

7. I'm out east of Colorado Springs and Falcon.

4. I can smell it, too.

I have a hard time during fire season. Thank goodness we got the AC fixed today. That energy saver thing was on the blink and wouldn't let it come on at all.

3. Stay safe, all you Coloradans.

Even if you don't need to dodge the flames, think about leaving when the smoke gets to you. That stuff is bad for the lungs, real bad.
