COLORADO HIGH PARK FIRE UPDATE JUNE 13, 2012. Sky and land form there is EXTREMELY very dangerous situation. URGENT. 1+1='2a'


Location: Larimer County, Colorado; northwest of Fort Collins; southeast of Walden; Roosevelt National Forest; Red Feather Lakes; west of Livermore

June 13, 2012 update

Double the amount of acreage effected by the fire since Saturday; status at 9:30am EST June 13, 2012

Over 100 buildings destroyed

Residents have had to leave their houses, and evacuations appear to be continuing

The trend of the geagraphical spread of the fire, is it is expanding in area, like a circle becoming larger and larger

Problem that is being gravitated toward:
formations in the ground, are merging with formations in the sky
what kind of formations are these, and why are they here?:
one of the answers is, pertinent subtleties in ground formations, are previous storms and catastrophes over the years, such as flooding and hurricanes, when synthesized or run and compressed together, form a whole, an altogether effect.  There centralized as seen from the bird's eye view, is the geographic formations that sit directly beneath the location of the High Park fire.

the same situation may hold true in different dimensions of the Little Bear fire in new Mexico, where the formation that shows in the ground looks more menacing.  The photos shown by media of conditions in the sky caused by the fire, do not look as severe as those over High park.

Whether conditions at and over Little Bear, New Mexico are attempting to merge with conditions at and above High park, is yet to see.

Part of why containment is necessary, is that chemicals released from 2 or 3 separate geographic areas from 2 or 3 or more separate fires corresponding to each, when combined together, could result in chemical mixes that are deadly, and we are not ready to defend.

How to repair:  if the geographic formations are linked to processes which lead to hurricanes and flooding, then obviously what leads to flooding and hurricanes must be stopped.

It so happens that the area adjacent immediate northwest of Fort Collins area of Colorado is one of the places where the geographic formation spoken about above, wound up, and the area is taking the brunt of the wildfire catastrophe.

The straightforward things you need to know:

  • the wildfire is bad enough.  call this number 1a
  • what has been appearing in the skies above it, is bad; whether it is the result of the fire, or only looks like it is the result of the fire; call this 1b
  • the math is simple, 1 + 1 = 2
  • When 1a and 1b are combined together, you will get this '2'.
  • Whatever '2' is in this case, call it '2a', nobody wants this combination.

It might be recommendation, amongst many, to go ahead, get the fire under control. Now.

COLORADO WILDFIRE: Frustration & Ugliness: A Fire that Awoke Rip Van Winkle. The Fire is in Progress at the Moment of Writing this Blog

The fire has been named the High Park Fire.

Flames were seen racing uphill, at angles in the direction of the slant of the mountains, at more of an acute angle than the mountains themselves.

Where: Larimer County, Colorado {primarily}
  • Boulder County, Colorado {bordering and adjacent south of Larimer, of concern}
  • Jefferson County, Colorado {bordering and adjacent south of Boulder County, in stories, and of concern}
  • Broomfield, County, Colorado {bordering and adjacent southeast tip of Boulder County, of concern}
  • more specifics: east of Walden, west of Fort Collins

Firefighters need help out there, as in more support, as of earlier this afternoon.
After 6pm EST, some emergency response management say they have all they need.
NOW, just like a fresh fire started, CAUTION, just as easily, another COULD start, adjacent, and exacerbate the current situation; so, in some sense, there can NEVER BE ENOUGH READINESS.

Opinion [:] Once the fire it completely out, then, it can be unanimously, all that they need to work against the fire is in place.  Other angles on containing and CONTROLLING the situation, in terms of contribution of teamwork strategies building, probably could not hurt.

   "We can get all the resources we want and need," he [the incident commander] said.
   But Colorado's House congressional delegation demanded that the U.S. Forest Service deploy more resources to the fire, which was zero percent contained and forced hundreds of people to abandon their homes.
 'New Mexico, Colorado fires burn out of control' [published about 6pmEST/June 11, 2012/AP]

Helicopters with water have arrived from Canada to help.

1 person is 'missing' thus far. [As of June 12, 2012, the missing person has been identified as a 62 year old woman, now deceased]

Door-to-door evacuations were/ are[?] being performed.

Stories have it the fire started Saturday morning {2 days ago}.

The description of the flames on video: bright orange flames, just like an orange colored crayon.  Huge white colored smoke clouds have formed, some looked like just the top part of a mushroom.  On top of some of the white clouds are dark-gray-colored clouds.

The fire DOES NOT seem to be CONTAINED as of yet.  12:45 EST [June 11].

20,000 acres were burnt in 48 hours.

Elements of 'whisping', winds, helping, the flames.  The kind of fire that could have awakened Rip Van Winkle.

What is a successful strategy for containing and putting the fire out?

The last footage seen, was the Colorado fire burning right now, is the kind of scene, fire loves, making due with the situation.  The situation is, it is in mountainous area of Colorado, which is more rural than a densely populated city.
