Gleno Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 Anyone up on what kinda air we'll be breathin' near Gunny?? I'm sure that the fires have left some not-so-swell aromas, but I'm curious about the air quality. Are there still fires burning??? How close was/is the damage to Gunny?? Any news noses out there care to shed some light?? Thanky........... Link to comment
WURTY Posted July 6, 2002 Share Posted July 6, 2002 one fire was reported 5 miles west of Gunnison. That fire should be contained by now. I do believe that more smoke will come from my Ceegars than from the fire area. Link to comment
JonathanE Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 There'll be way more smoke from my back tire (until my wife gets in town on Sunday) than even Wurty's stogies, and way, way, more than the smoke left over from the fires that our best friends, the forestry department firefighters, have taken care of. Gleno, your asthma should be nearly unnoticable in Gunnison. Link to comment
Christopher Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 Hey Wurty. I think we have been challenged. Link to comment
snod Posted July 7, 2002 Share Posted July 7, 2002 I don't think there is any wildfire smoke in Gunnison at this point. Check out http://www.colostate.edu/Depts/CSFS/cofires.html for a map of current fires. Link to comment
AdventurePoser Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Hi Gleno, The Lovely Flame and I just returned from two weeks in SW Colorado, and it was pretty hazy from all the fires until 4 July when it started raining a bit. If the afternoon showers keep up and the humidity stays high, you'll be treated to some pretty grand scenery! Steve in So Cal Link to comment
snod Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 New fire 7 miles west of Gunnison. Called the Steuben Fire, 550 acres, started yesterday, 0% contained at this point. Started by lighting? It is not on the CSU map yet. Link to comment
G Floyd Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Below is a link to a Denver News site on the fire that's near Gunnison. It's lacking a map, though. http://www.denverpost.com - then click on the "More Help For Gunnison" fire link Link to comment
G Floyd Posted July 12, 2002 Share Posted July 12, 2002 Okay, forget that last link (funny how the news changes each day). But maybe this one will stay out there for a while: http://129.33.71.33/colorado/ The fire near Gunnison is called the "Steuben" fire apparently. Link to comment
Bill1100 Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Does anyone know what the fire situation is in the Durango and/or Four Corners areas at present? Link to comment
