2:30 PM MST Tuesday, the fire is still out of control. I have heard that the Bucksnort is gone, Rex, along with the rest of Sphinx Park. Due to turbulence, the slurry planes were grounded all day, although I believe I just heard one go over. There are supposed to be over 150 firefighters in the area now, including California teams. Maybe they will be able to go on the offensive soon. The strategy so far seems to be to use Highway 285 as the line of defense. Unfortunately it has meant that over 5000 acres have been burned so far, and no one can approach closer to 150 yards due to temperatures at that range in excess of 175 degrees.
