This is the scene in Fruita, Colorado, as the sun sets, with the roughly 28,000 acre Snyder Fire burning to the west

An acre sure is a strange unit to use for describing how far away something is lol.

Lol!!! I thought this too! But I think they mean that 28,000 acres is what is on fire and it just is West.

Like the other comment says, I think it should have been written:

This - it’s a 28,000 acre fire.

Glad to hear this, I was especially worried about Wes.

I can’t even imagine how far away that is. Does anyone have that in football fields

I hope everyone out there is safe!

And if it's any consolation, the moon in Loveland is now a pretty orange due to this fire 😜

How do you know it's summer in Colorado? The whole western slope is on fire.

My thoughts and well wishes to you and yours.
