As of last night, the County reported that the fire in Clear Creek Canyon (which they're calling the "Goltra Fire") was 60% contained. They also stated that the area in which the firefighters are working is treacherous--very steep, slippery rock footing, and lots of rattlesnakes.
The firefighters had support from helicopters dropping 1,000 gallon buckets of water on the flames. They were collecting the water from Golden's drinking water pond.
Let's hope it's over today!
