XP - update to our local fire

mama2many

Well, the warm wishes & prayers appear to be working. Thanks to no wind since middle of the night, and the hard work of a lot of fire fighters, the fire was stopped at the Colorado river, kept from crossing the freeway toward the city and another mountain. It has burned about 15,000 acres, but has turned back toward the desert and is heading away from the city and outlying small towns and is beginning to be contained.

No fireworks here this year. 

Unfortunately, still haven't gotten any rain, and we're in a valley surrounded by 3 different very dry mountain ranges - so I'm sure the summer will continue to be dicey.
