The Cosgrove Fire

The Cosgrove Fire started last Sunday from a lightning strike and
has now grown to 1400 acres. Located in the Little Book Cliffs, it's
not far from the Grand Valley as the crow flies. However, since it's
in such a remote area and hard to get to, it's a three hour drive in
off-road vehicles to get to the fire to fight it. This area is also near
the Little Book Cliffs Wild Horse Area, where a large herd of wild horses
resides. We've been told they're not in danger, but since the fire is
burning vegetation that is not native to the area, it's being allowed to
burn. The huge clouds of smoke and smell of smoke are certainly
disturbing though.
