Mancos/Weber Fire

There is a huge fire in Mancos~ It started on Friday, and has continued to burn~ so far 7000 acres~ We drove over last night, and saw the flames. It was amazing at night! I don't see how they'll ever get it out....The area is so mountainous, that it's hard for the firefighters to get to. Today it's all smoky again, and hard to breathe~ We can't even see the mountains from here today.  Several homes have been lost, and areas are under evacuation orders~ My brother is hoping the fire doesn't jump the highway, and head up to his cabin! I've always wanted a cabin in the forest, but this has always been one of my fears! Praying for rain~
