Smoke-Filled Skies at Sunset
Rocky Mountain Front Range, Denver, Colorado. The fires in Colorado increased from 12 to 14 in recent days; some with minimal containment. Once again, we are pleased to have received some rain just prior to this photo. But the air's "color filters" are altered due to the multiple fires' particulates in the atmosphere.
Hundreds of firefighters who specialize in fighting forest fires from the air (dropping fire retardant from customized aircraft) and on the ground (such as, the "Hot Shots") remain hard at work throughout the state. Hundreds more are due to arrive to work alongside these crews and offer relief for the weary in the days ahead.
It is reported that the 747 Global Super Tanker, a Very Large Air Tanker (VLAT), reconfigured and based in Colorado Springs, Colorado, may be called up to assist with these Colorado and California fires. First, the navigation system is being updated now for greater navigation accuracy.
