yet but it's estimated that there were over 300 homes that were lost and when you
review the pictures, you'll see why. The forest is just like gasoline. Nothing
can stop the monster, although winds have slowed today and the temperatures are
little cooler. The danger today seems to be in the northwest quadrant of the
fire which is burning towards Woodland Park, a mountain community. </span></font><font
