We have had a few wildfires in the past week. We have one right now north of where I live and it is pretty big and out of control. The air quality is horrible. We are more than an hour away but the air here is gray and icky.
Plz keep the firefighters in your thoughts.
I am staying indoors until the air quality improve. Yikes!!

I'm also in Colorado, about an hour south, and I've been basically trapped in the house since we got home yesterday. We can't see the mountains from our town, and they're a 15 minute drive away. It's pretty bad.

Definitely keep the firefighters in your thoughts and hope they can start getting things under control.

Yep!! We have a whole house fancy filter system.... hubby is a heating guy. I had to do Wii tonight for exercise. Kinda boring but beats going outside.

I am 10 miles away from the fire, I live in Fort Collins. I'm trying my best to stay inside and run the AC for some filtering, but I'm having massive headaches. I do have to leave the house for school the next several days, and I'm worried. The smoke has been shifting around, sometimes it's more north and sometimes more south. But being 10 miles away, it doesn't make a difference for me.

My son and I volunteered at the Humane Society since they are getting such an influx of animals. I did sign up to help out at the Ranch with the larger animals the first night, but had to cancel by the second night as the fire was just getting worse and I knew I couldn't work outside, shoveling poop, carrying hay, and being around a bunch of animals that have smoke on them. I was really sad I backed out of something I said I would do, but I'm just trying to remember it was the best thing for me.

I live south of Greeley.

Yesterday the air around here was not too bad (less gray). I went outside to water my dying garden. Dumb idea.... I am paying for it today.... coughing like crazy. It doesn't seem to affect my son or husband.... just me with the stinky lungs.
