It’s looking like the camping spot I found northwest (fixed) of Fort Collins is now on fire. While there I talked with some hikers who lived nearby. They wanted to make sure I wasn’t lighting any fires, which I was not.
We chatted for a bit, and they told me the area had been accidentally set aflame a year or so ago when a controlled burn got out of hand. Their insurance company dropped their fire insurance after that. Said they were very good about building defensible space around their home, but the land across the street was national forest and not being managed correctly. I’m hoping their homes alright.
