Acres 1378 75% contained, released 1 Type 2 helo late morning today.

latest 209 still no smoke showing, as case for last several weeks.

well at least the last couple of 209's have had no smoke showing, so maybe just maybe its the sign that this one is coming to the end?

They had a Type 3 helo assigned yesterday (9TA) for a recon. Did not see anything from the air but did find smokes from the ground. The south slopes have little snow left in some areas and more...

Still smoking interior but have a estimated containment date of 02-28-13 in the most recent 209.

Sounds like some smoke still coming off of the interior of the burn area, not much but a reminder that it is still there.

Here was the article from Firehouse.com http://www.firehouse.com/article/10701015/wildfire-detection-in-the-21st-century Its in the topics and highlights section.

Firehouse.com just ran a article about this (maybe in the last month +-) system and they also mentioned the DFPA as using the system.

from the 209 on the 21st still 88% contained w/ 1 eng and 2 OH committed, being put in moniter status.

3,498 acres 60% contained and planning on transitioning to Type 3 team on 12-10-12 1800 and all evacs have been lifted. Snow over most of the fire, hope it stays this time.

Looks like they released both heavy AT assign T-43 and T-48 back to San Bernardino and the weather sure has changed from last weekend with cloud cover and lots of moisture in the air. Will have to...

Evacuations still in effect, using a local hotel as the ICP and the fairgrounds for supply and meals with everyone staying in hotels due to temps. Looks like some really cold weather coming this...

Here is a article from Ft. Collins newspaper...

released 1 type 1 and 1 type 3 helo last night at end of shift, still have 1 type 1 assigned along with the AA.

They did order 2 type 1 helo's (both at FNL now) and 1 Type 3 helo (not sure where it is), 1 AA at JeffCo and misc. OH and Equipment. Sounds like fire grew a couple hundred acres over the week but...

Fire was putting up smoke today and sounds like they are going to order a type 1 helo for Friday.

Fire is 1,132 acres after the last week of nice weather, will wait and see what this new storm will bring to it.
