We have been glued to the news today. Can't go outside because the smoke is suffocating, not to mention the heat at 101 degrees. Praying!
Nine aircraft are now fighting the fire just west of Colorado Springs. This information comes from a briefing at four o'clock Sunday afternoon. This includes three heavy tankers, four single engine tankers and two helicopters.
There are also 450 firefighters on the ground and that number is growing.
A total of about 11,000 people are under evacuation orders from Manitou Springs, the City of Colorado Springs and El Paso County.
Garden of the Gods Park, Cheyenne Canyon Park and Palmer Park are all closed. The Pikes Peak Highway is also closed.
