This video gives a quick look into the types of wind conditions us and other firefighters on Cameron Peak experienced and have been experiencing over the duration of the #cameronpeakfire #cofire

[Marc Sallinger @MarcSallinger]

The sky is black as the wind blows the fire east towards Highway 36. Very windy out here which is fanning the smoke and flames. I’m seeing really tall flames coming over the ridge #9News

Unreal moments flying through the smoke plume of severe #wildfires in #Colorado — watch the sky turn completely orange as visibility drops to near zero. @capitalweather

These fires are burning near Fort Collins, though blazes are torching large areas of the West. #fire

If you are traveling thru Garfield or Eagle County, I-70 is closed in both directions in Glenwood Cyn, between mm109 & 140 (Dotsero) due to the Grizzly Creek Fire (originally named 120 fire). Closures and delays may continue to be extensive. Photo: Vail Daily
