Black Forest Fire in Colorado Update

  June 15, 2013:  The Black Forest Fire in Colorado is not 30% contained at 15,500 acres.  The cause
is still undetermined, and total evacuations remain in effect.

   Most of the areas burned had been given the required clearance around individual homes, but it made no difference. 

   Once a fire starts it travels from tree top to tree top and even though the ground may be clear of pine needles and lower branches trimmed, the fire rages on.
