Posted December 31, 2021 Wish the snow would have come a day sooner to help with the fire. Air quality is bad because of the smoke. I can only imagine what it is like to lose your house, your home, your possessions (many may be irreplaceable heirlooms) and the feeling of what the future will hold. My heart goes out to all affected and hope people step up and find ways to help. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 31, 2021 I live about 3 miles North of where the fire was finally contained. Watched the fire all day. When I saw the smoke color changed from gray to black I knew structures were burning. Went to my gym in the afternoon which is a evacuation center. The place filled up with worried scared people with their pets and all they could pack into their cars in a hurry. Some neighbors packing their cars in case they got an evacuation order. Had in laws staying with. They packed up and left and went farther North to stay with friends. I wasn't surprised that was a fire, just the extent. The places I take my dog for hikes I've been saying you could just throw a match and start a fire. So sad. Families with kids with looking for someplace to stay. Paying their mortgage on their house that was burnt to the ground and also paying rent. Okay, everyone knows all this, I will stop. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We are already in a very challenging housing market. This is just so sad and surreal. 😢 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 31, 2021 These fires were surreal. I live in North Arvada area and drove over to see how close they were getting. Took Indiana street North towards Rock Creek and wasn’t expecting to see what I saw. The whole fuckn subdivision was flattened to ashes, every damn house! Still hard to comprehend how a whole subdivision could be toppled this quickly, but hot embers were literally flying all over the sky and the fact that the shopping center went too is the topper! Sickening to think this could happen…. Donating a bunch of warm clothes I don’t wear anymore, so if you know someone that needs something, hit me in the DM. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
