LARIMER COUNTY - The sheriff's office says sparks flying from a welder's torch may be to blame for a grass fire which burned a small area near the Colorado-Wyoming border Tuesday afternoon.

The welder was doing work on a communications tower in the area. The fire, which broke out near Highway 223 and Winchester Road, was quickly contained. No damage or injuries were reported. A nearby elementary school was evacuated as a precaution.

Meanwhile, county and U.S. Forest Service crews were responding to a one-acre fire reported on Storm Mountain, near Drake Colorado. That's west of Loveland. A helitanker was on route.

Thank God the fires there died down. Unfortunely for the place where I grew up, there is a major fire and I believe it will burn all the way to the ocean if the wind keep going on. It has been alike that over again and again for many years so tired of it.
 
i know.. I'm relieved too.. but in Southern California- im praying for my sister as she live near West Hills. she said only 2 miles from her house.. the firemen told people to evacuate to West Hills area so obiviously they felt it is safe there for now.

She told me it took her two hours to get home yesterday.. she said she will leave @ 2 pm due to traffic.. hoping that both freeways will not close this afternoon as she have to get home from work.. Good news that the winds had died down and they would be able to put the fires out??? I hope so!!!!

sighs... :(

It is still out of control near West Hills. So far firefighters did a good job protect those homes. Talked with my in law, everyone is fine in Simi Valley. Fire did come closer to my brother in law's home but firefighter put stop with red stuff to block them from coming down there. It will be cooler tmw so it should help there alot.
 
Levonian and I are just about 5 minutes away from the fires here in Southern California. We have been watching the news since it all began yesterday. Tonight, I can see it burning from our house here in Simi Valley.
 
Ouch.. I pray to God to keep your home safe, mayflower.. I am sure you are scared and worried.. :( Ask God for the strength and faith into you and pray for hope.

My prayers are with you and my sister and everyone else.. :(
