The wildfire season has just started and, already, this year will be a black page in the history of fires for the state Colorado. Till now there are 7 fires raging through the vast parks in this Rocky Mountain area. The largest wildfire at 137.000 acres is Hayman, 50 miles South-West of Denver. Some 2.500 firefighters and nearly two dozen helicopters are assigned to battle the fires. The hot, dry weather allows the fires to flare-up and the ever changing wind makes it even more dangereous.
