A retired fireman and his wife had a beautiful house just north of Grand Lake.
It is reported that they retreated to a concrete bunker under the house instead of evacuating.
The bunker protected them from the flames and the collapse of the house, but not from the 1300 degree temperature.

There is snow predicted by the end of the week-end, but the whole area is being evacuated to front range cities.
Rocky Mountain National Park is closed with the Cameron Peak Fire on one side and the East Troublesome Fire on the other.
Only 12 miles separate the two largest fires in Colorado history.
