As I am sure you all know there is a large fire burning just a few miles away from my house in the foothills. I live as far west as you can live in Fort Collins but everyone in the next town to the west of me has been evacuated. I am not really concerned that we will be evacuated because of the giant reservoir between us and the fire, but it's still scary being this close to such a large fire.
This is the forth wildfire that we have had in our area in the last month. It's been horrible breathing in all this smoke over the last few weeks. This fire is by far the worst but also the closest so the amount of smoke on the air is almost unbearable. We have all the windows closed and the humidifier running and I am still taking my inhaler every few hours.
A few days a week we watch our friends son who is two years old and all he wants is to outside today but with all this smoke we are cooped up inside St this point I am considering leaving for the night to stay with my parents just so we can breathe from fresh air.
Hopefully soon the firefighters will get the fire under control and all will go back to normal.
