On going as I type is the Black Forest Fire burning in northern El Paso County, Colorado.  The fire started on June 11th in the community of Black Forest and quickly grew into a raging interface fire.  Currently northeastern portions of the City of Colorado Springs are under mandatory evacuation.  Multiple air & ground resources are assigned to the 15,000+ acre fire which destroyed 360 home as of this morning... The Waldo Canyon Fire in Colorado Springs last July destroyed 346 homes, making it the now second most destructive.   There are fears that several people may have been killed and the CO USAR TF1 has been on stand by to go search once the fire conditions calm down.

 

I was able to get some photos yesterday... This is what it looked like from southern Elbert County around 11 am.

   

 

Flames from fully involved structures and group torching could be seen from several miles away
