summer event blog
This summer the rocky mountain regions suffered terribly due to extreme heat and dryness.Wildfires have been taking over these ranges all summer. They all vary in size due to location, levels, and wind. wind is a major factor in small and large fires because it causes the fire to spread more rapidly. a major one in late june caused evacuations of 32000 people. A more recent wildfire happened in pikes peak, colorado. This massive fire destroyed more than 300 homes and killed 2 people. It was right in the middle of tourist season and hurt income. Many believe that the recent uprise in wildfires is caused by global warming but that theory has been questioned and is undetermind. Scientists believe it will continue to worsen over time. http://www.denverpost.com/dontmiss/ci_21473495/wildfire-ravaged-colorado-town-gets-tourism-grant
