Oh wow, I'm in Colorado too. Smoke's been a problem, but there's no real danger from fires here either. We had a guy staying here while he was evacuated from his house, but he was able to go back to his apartment a few hours ago.
Oh, that's great! The containment percentage keeps getting higher and higher. I worry every time I feel a cool summer breeze though. :/ Takes all the fun out of summer. We have a really strong smoke smell around our house some days, but not today thankfully. I see it in the distance like fog.
EDIT:
While we're on the topic of the fires in Colorado! I have been wondering what I can do to help. We have so many fire personnel working out there. Who knows where they're staying and what they're eating and what kind of relaxation they can manage out of the little down time they have. Also, so many people have lost homes and that means lots of personal belongings. House insurance will cover some of it (depending on how good it is as insurance) but will never replace photographs and other precious memories that were lost. Plus, when you're grabbing things in an emergency, I highly doubt you can grab your WHOLE wardrobe or your whole library! These people will be missing a lot of their things!
I have been thinking of making a KickStarter or something to donate to the cause of rebuilding homes and giving food and shelter to the fire fighters and other personnel aiding in the fire fight. But with KickStarter I'm not sure about the rules, like if it has to be to make a tangible product or not? Also, with KickStarter, you need rewards at each tier. I am thinking of making stickers to give away for the tiers or something.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I was thinking of even making a Renpy game to make as one of the rewards or just as something to help with fire prevention and awareness... I want to do something!
And should I make a topic about this elsewhere? xD
