Parents retired this March and bought their dream ranch house in the CO mountains on 400 acres. Now there’s a 4000 acres fire that’s 0% contained about a mile from them. No evacuation order for them yet, but we expect it’s coming.

My mistake, fire is 2 miles away as of the update at 6pm last night, not one mile away.

Start clearing trees and brush from around the house. If they have a sprinkler system, turn it on and mow the grass as low as possible.
