It’s summertime, and unfortunately, that means there are wildfires in Colorado. This year, we’ve been very fortunate to receive record snow and rains which have helped to decrease the number and size of wildfires in our great state, but despite this influx of water, these natural disasters cannot be avoided entirely. Right now, The Lowline Fire in Gunnison County is spreading between Gunnison and Crested Butte. Firefighters are on the scene and are working hard to get the fire under control, but it continues to burn and grow.
Wildfires are a fact of life in Colorado. Fortunately, our state’s firefighters – and those who come from other states to help – will do everything that they can to stop these fires from growing further, and will keep Colorado’s residents, visitors, homes, forests, and wildlife as safe as possible. The Lowline Fire in Gunnison County is Colorado’s second-largest wildfire so far this year, and we can only hope it will be contained quickly. Be safe, and always be on the lookout for fires in Colorado.
