I was visiting family in the area and so I went over to Ordway this morning. They had a large fire last Tuesday that killed two firefighters and destroyed 24 homes. This is an autostitched panorama of a field that used to contain some of those homes. I also have some photos taken from where the wooden bridge was that collapsed, a railroad bridge just north of there that would collapse if anything went on it, and some industrial stuff. My uncle is a firefighter in nearby Fowler and he was there driving a truck too. Incidentally he was told that the bridge was on fire so he avoided it, but apparently the two firefighters that died didn't know about its condition and they attempted to drive over it. It sounds like there must have been much mayhem and miscommunication at the time.
