There doesn't seem to be much concern over the Leadville fire or the Birdseye Gulch fire. It is up W 7th on the way to Mosquito Pass and there is nothing up there. If it burns to the north it will hit the mine and if it burns to the south it will just burn cause there is nothing there but old mines. And, it is burning at timberline. Won't do any damage until it reaches Empire Gulch which is south of Leadville. If it comes down the mt. then there is an area of concern but it is still at 320 acres and didn't increase today. I have one son who works for Road and Bridge in Leadville so he will keep me informed on his safety and have another son and grandson living south of Leadville and they will keep me informed of any problems. Stay cool.... cause it ain't cool here............ g On Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 9:37 PM, W David Samuelsen <dsam52@sampubco.com>wrote: > I just checked news - embers landed at Glen Eyrie Reservoir, just east > of Hill Circle, east of N 30th St. > > DAvid > > On 6/26/2012 8:35 PM, Colleen wrote: > > The West side of Colorado Springs is on fire -- west of I25.
