[cobirds] Hanover area roads closed

In-case anyone was planning to go out on Hanover Road in El Paso County, Hanover Fire Station, or to Chico Basin Ranch (few area) today, the fires have closed roads in this area. Not sure when these roads might be back open. There looks to be rain in forecast for Friday and Saturday, this area ce

I did get an update from Chico Basin Ranch a hour ago, here is what they said. "The fire burned across the ranch last night, at this point all people and structures are safe. We will know more as day breaks." Brandon K. Percival Pueblo West, CO On Wed, Apr 18, 2018 at 4:56 AM, Brandon wrote:
