MainMonkeyBusiness Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Anyone had close calls with wildfires? Here where I live in Oklahoma, we've had two close calls within three days. I drove through the damage tonight. Embers still burning in houses, sheds, barns, and trees in the Glencoe, OK fire. Take the burn ban seriously folks.

TullSkull Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Here in SW Colorado we have had a few near by, but not a threat to us this year so far. In years past we have had fire very close, like 200 feet away and as a Wildland Fire Fighter I have been on many wild fires and protected many homes, was strange having my back to my place for protection. Stay Safe Out There!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobodys hero Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 The closest to me was about 20 minutes away and they put that out pretty quickly The one in Colorado Springs however( 1 1/2 hours from me) was devastating for the homeowners affected. It is so horribly dry throughout the US Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
