Fire on the Mountain
Fire on the Mountain: The True Story of the South Canyon Fire | John N. Maclean
1 post
In 1994, a wildfire on Colorado's Storm King Mountain was wrongly identified at the outset as occurring in South Canyon. This unintentional, seemingly minor human error was the first in a string of mistakes that would be compounded into one of the greatest tragedies in the annals of firefighting. Before it was done, fourteen courageous firefightersmen and women, hotshots, smoke jumpers, and helicopter crewwould lose their lives battling the deadly so-called South Canyon blaze. John N. Maclean's award-winning national bestseller Fire on the Mountain is a stunning reconstruction of the killer conflagration and its aftermatha page-turning true adventure of nature at its most unforgiving, and a powerful, indelible portrait of a unique breed of heroes who regularly and without question place their lives on the line.

We've had a hell of a time since moving to Colorado in October 2019. Arrived just in time for winter. Then COVID. Then some of the worst wildfires in state's history. COVID swells again. This spring and summer have been okay, but now huge rains in the burned areas have caused mudslides that have destroyed the main artery through the state (the detour around the canyon takes 3+ hours), and COVID is swelling again... Third dose, anyone? Le sigh 😔

TieDyeDude It hasn't been all bad, though. I got engaged, we bought a house, and we are visiting home in a month to get married. My fiancee is also getting really good at making soft pretzels at home #alwayslookonthebrightsideoflife 3y
DivineDiana So sorry to learn of your Colorado challenges. I visited for the first time in June, and I was in awe of Colorado‘s beauty. So happy that you are now a home owner, and that your nuptials are approaching! Best wishes! (edited) 3y
Bookwormjillk I‘m glad you can look on the bright side. Sounds like you‘ve had quite the time. 3y

Tera66 It's not all bad here, the weather can always be a challenge though. I'm down near Denver and we have it a bit easier. Hang in there, autumn will be beautiful....but it will probably also snow.😊 3y
