The drought http://www.parthe.net/_cwg0602/00000006.htm ---- http://www.parthe.net/_cwg0602/00000008.htm ----- http://www.parthe.net/_cwg0602/0000000f.htm ----- in America and in Colorado has caused an incredible problem with dried out and dying brush, which is causing the states largest fire in the history of CO. As many of you know we had predicted a bad fire season this year and have tried to get out the information about our Arson Watch Program; http://www.carwashguys.com/051402_1.shtml -------------- The Hayman fire is out of control and headed to Denver only 35 miles away. The firestorm has been noted by the Space Shuttle and Space Station. So far 50 homes destroyed in its path. So much for urban and suburb sprawl. Governor Bill Owens a guy I personally have respect for after literally preventing CO from economic disaster recently with the telecom bust, is quite upset and has called this unbelievable. He has been up for 43 hours with out sleep. This fire is 100 square miles 2/3 the size of the city of Denver. FEMA is doing a great job too. Thank god there is military support there in CO and one hell of a group of real time government leaders. Was this fire so great due to the Sierra Club not allowing clearing of old brush or roads, which could be used to fight. Fires take a lot of water, and water which CO needs to save the water. The prolonged drought has been 4-5 years so far. Rio Grande is only 14% of normal flow, plus there has not been proper thinning. I thought that the USA Today did an excellent article on the fire situation. As many of you know we have been studying this and alerting many government agencies such as the USDA Forestry Service and others to our solution to stop these fires ASAP. Here is some more information we have studied; http://www.carwashguys.com/fireseason.shtml ------ Last year was bad the year before worse and this year and it is still early appears it will trump both combined. It is only June remember, so far CA has been hit hard and NM is on battle alert to stop fires started by lightning storms ASAP, if not the cities of Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Las Vegas NM and Rio Rancho would literally run out of water trying to stop a fire the size of CO current fire. It is time for all Car Wash Guys to have a team prayer for our customers and future customers in CO in their time of need.
