Currently we have crews helping in Campo, CO for a fast moving grass/brush fire.
We have crews that assisted on approximately CR 7 and CR KK west of Manzanola, CO for a double chicken coop fire in heavy winds. We also have a crew in the area of CR 13.5 and CR HH suppressing a rekindle controlled burn in high winds.
In addition to all these fire calls, we have struggled to cover ambulance calls. So far we are able to just barely meet response needs.
Please pray for all our dedicated hard working responders and pray for improved weather conditions.
