Oh man...that's really bad. I hope the house is ok, but if not, at least you had time to save the creatures.
Please keep us in the loop.
Please keep us in the loop.
Any word on your Dad's house? Make sure he starts a claim with his insurance right now. Even if he doesn't know it's lost. He will have property & content damage and other stuff. If he gets it started he will not be in line with the rest of the people who will wait the next couple of days. It can take a year or so to get him sorted so the earlier the better. We started ours an hour after we left the house even though it was still standing. We were taken care of in a couple of weeks. Keep every receipt for every purchase for whoever lives in the home. We learned a lot when our fires came through.
Glad you are all safe!

Yes! he took pictures of everything and collected all important documents. Everything he owns is in a list with pictures. We made sure we had it covered if worst were to happen.

I would never have dreamed it would take so long to get things settled.
It's bad :/
Glad you made it out safe. My dads cousin got evacuated from her house then had to get evacuated from the house that she got evacuated to. It just seems crazy up there right now.
So sorry to hear that, your cactus garden and all... glad you are all safe.
Sorry to hear about this, Chase. When I lived in Florida, my apartment burned down after a lightning storm. That was tough, too, especially since most of my aquarium pets (fish and frogs) died. I lost some personal property, too, but this situation is more serious. Anyway, my thoughts are with you.
As I said, we now have another wildfire up here in Boulder. I have been keeping Mork and Mindy indoors to protect them, but does anyone know how sensitive tortoise lungs are to smoke, ash, and carbon monoxide? I know it's not good for people or other mammals, but at least we have some tolerance for it. However, the respiratory and circulatory systems of turtles and other reptiles are simpler than ours. Would this make them more or less vulnerable to air pollution from a big fire?

Chase thorn, if you need anything I am only an hour away. Just let me know. I have no problem helping out in anyway that I can. Sorry, to hear about your dad's house.
Thanks guys! I have been staying with my girlfriend and her parents just waiting it out watching movies for now. My dad is ok too at my brothers house with the dogs.
May be able to go back home soon! whoo hoo!
For the ones who are interested, My dad is going to be able to go home soon. From my Mom's balcony, I have a full view of pikes peak. I took some binoculars and tried to see threw the smoke to see if my dad's house made it! And the whole small area where his house is located looks untouched. I hope the house is still standing and I hope everything is ok and only has smoke damage.
The Sulcatas are doing fine as well at my girlfriends house, I, unfortunately, am ill due to not eating for a number of days... Too much stress and it's hard being sick and taking care of so much! I am managing to get by and everything is looking ok
Thank you too the ones who cared and that offered help! It means a lot!

Chase, part of being a responsible pet caretaker, is taking care of yourself too. Try to keep yourself as stress free as you can and eat!
I'm trying I'm doing much better at the moment!

Whoo hooo!! The evacuation was just lifted for my dads area! He is able to go home tonight! Thank god everything is ok! We just hope the return to the house is what we expect!
My prayers are with all of you and the poor animals that are lost in the fire and have no place to go. I keep thinking about them too. I hope your Dad's house is OK and your's too.
Please take care of yourself! I hope your Dad's house is OK.
The house looks untouched!!! Almost all houses near are gone but his... Literally nothing wrong!
