Elk Fire in western Colorado grows to 4,000 acres, nearby Lee and Grease Fires reach 5,000
A wildfire that started in northwest Colorado on Saturday afternoon has now burned around 4,000 acres. Meanwhile, the Lee and Grease Fires, which are located very near each other, have grown to cover around 5,000 acres between the two of them. Evacuations and closures have been put in place near two of the fires burning in Rio Blanco County.
The Elk Fire, located 10 miles southeast of Meeker, was sparked by lightning as thunderstorms rolled through the area over the weekend. It has continued to grow quickly, spreading rapidly due to dry conditions and pinyon, juniper and oak brush growing in the area.
Gov. Jared Polis declared a disaster emergency Sunday due to the Elk Fire. According to the Bureau of Land Management, one structure and four outbuildings have been lost. An evacuation location is set up at 200 Main Street in Meeker.
Two fires continue to burn to the southwest of Meeker as well. The Lee Fire and the Grease Fire are very close to each other and have grown throughout the day. Together, the fires have burned around 5,000 acres.

Support Victims of LGBTQ Nightclub Shooting Colorado
Q Club
Providing support to the victims and families of this horrific tragedy. A 22-year-old gunman entered an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado Springs, Colorado, just before midnight Saturday and began shooting, killing at least five people and injuring 25 others, before patrons confronted and stopped him, police said Sunday. The suspect in the shooting at Club Q was identified as Anderson Lee Aldrich, he used a long rifle in the shooting, and two firearms were found at the scene. At least two people inside the club confronted and fought the gunman and prevented further violence. Police said they were investigating whether the attack was a hate crime and noted Club Q’s relationship with the LGBTQ community. The shooting came as the calendar turned to Transgender Day of Remembrance. Authorities initially said 18 people were injured but later adjusted that total up to 25. Nineteen of the 25 injured had gunshot wounds.

Disaster Relief And Reforestation
A mandatory evacuation was ordered Tuesday for a Colorado town due to "immediate and imminent danger" from the recently sparked Kruger Rock Fire. Fire officials have ordered an upgrade to mandatory evacuations for the area of Meadowdale and south to the Boulder County line, to include Big Elk Meadows and Pinewood Springs west of Highway 36, for residents and business occupants due to immediate and imminent danger. The fast-spreading fire is just 90 minutes away from Denver and is located at the eastern entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park. Trees are the lungs of the earth. They’re also its filters. Trees capture airborne dust, pollen, as well as smog like carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide. The root systems carry this cleaner water deep into the ground contributing to our fresh water aquifers and springs. Trees sit atop the food chain when it comes to creating nature itself. Forests nourish a network of ecology that is shared with nearly every organism on earth. If you enjoy watching birds, squirrels or butterflies, you can thank a tree.
