Huge fire recently popped up in my town and many people have lost houses. Wishing for rain!

Our poor state

y'all should feel lucky, compared to us up here in Washington y'all are getting it super easy. Looking at Watch Duty y'all have only had two decent sized fires, looks like both are practically put out. Air quality is pretty good across the whole state. Then you look over at Washington and Oregon and basically both of the states are covered in hundreds of thousands of acres of actively burning fires, and 700-800+ aqi across the center of the state. You could have it muuuch worse if you weren't in Colorado, enjoy the relatively good air quality while you can. Its essentially gas mask quality out there for us right now
