I thought I would make a 50 photo gallery of the Cameron Peak Fire and the East Troublesome Fire so that you may understand the awesome destructive nature of forest firs like these and the effort it takes to fight these fires. The Cameron Peak Fire is the largest fire ever in the State of Colorado. High winds are the major cause of fires spreading so quickly sound very similar to the fires raging in California, Oregon and the Washington states. All photos courtesy of the Coloradoan. I am amazed at the little conifer tree that seems to be the only tree that survived in the immediate area of it.

Here are a few photos to start with:
