Glad to hear you're okay, I can't lose my only friend on here. and I hope your house is in good shape. 

@ Hollabackenny Thanks bro, the updates on the news make it appear my home is safe. I was pretty sure because it is in a safer spot than many mountain homes. Still have to chill at my grandmas until they let me back. Who know when that will be. Overall the fire is still spreading fast.

When I was NinPie's age a buddy and I poored a bunch of gas on an ant hill. We lit it, but the gas can was too close to the hill and the fumes on top of it caught fire. I freaked out, ran over and started trying to blow out the fumes before the fire got into the can. Good thing it went out. Looking back that was incredibly stupid, the can could have blown up and lit my face on fire.

Also that was the year I combined a bunch of fireworks into a large explosive, stuck one of those spining fireworks into a Zima bottle and watched it cut the bottle in half. Played with M-80s. Man I was a dumb kid.

No. My mom told me not to play with fire when I was younger.

I'm actually also in Colorado. I have family affected by the High Park fire, friends affected by the Waldo Canyon fire, and I'm in spitting distance of yet another fire, which is nowhere near as bad as the other two, but is incredibly close to a very populated area and I just so happen to be on the side closest to it. Still, I'm in nowhere near as bad of a position as Chocoloco is. The Waldo Canyon fire exploded yesterday, whereas this one has stayed relatively small.

Here's why the fires are so bad in Colorado right now. One, we have had incredibly dry weather for months, since about February. There was less snow in the mountains, and less rain. So everything is really dry right now.

Two, pine beetle kill. That's a huge problem with the forests in the Rockies right now. There are tons of dead trees everywhere that died because of this. The government has prohibited forest service from burning out these areas, or cutting them down and using them for something. So they're just sitting there waiting to be burned, and it gets worse every year.

Three, and I already mentioned this, the government has prohibited forest service from burning out these areas. If they didn't stop every fire, and actually let some of the dead stuff burn, it wouldn't acumulate so much, and we wouldn't be in as much trouble with this record setting heat and thunder storms that spit out a lot of lighting.

The result of not clearing this stuff out is what you're seeing now. The second largest and most destructive fire in state history is still burning, smoke and haze are covering basically the whole state, and more fires are popping up dangerously close to populated areas.

^Damn that pic.

my story would be seriously too stupid, i can't tell you my fire experience lol

I see... so you are a bully, APM?

Our house caught on fire when I was at school.
A Heating Lamp that was used to keep our Leopard Gecko warm feel off of it's cage because our kittens (5 of them) were playing around and knocked off the lamp.
My Mom got home and noticed the smoke so she called the Fire Dept. Then I got home and noticed the Fire Dept. and Red Cross there. My Mom told me three of our kittens dies and the mom of the kittens died. Our Leopard Gecko also died, the rest of my animals were fine, though. We still have the two remaining Kittens from the fire.

All this happened while my Dad was in Gainesville for Surgery on his heart and Brain. >_> Not a fun time at all.

LOL, Ryan, no.

We had 5 Kittens because our Cat unexpectantly had babies. We didn't want anymore animals. 

Before the Kittens we had 2 Dogs, 3 Cats, and a Gecko. Not that much. We were going to give all the Kittens away until 3 of them, and the mother, died. So now we have; 2 Dogs and 4 Cats (2 of the cats being the ones that survived, they are only a year old) but no Gecko or Kittens.
