GOV. JOHN HICKENLOOPER toured the High Park Fire scene Sunday morning. “This is the fire a lot of folks in Larimer County have always worried about,” he said. “We are throwing everything at it that we can.” Four helicopters and two air tankers dropped water and flame retardant, 250 firefighters and 15 engines worked on the ground. There are no plans for containment at this point as firefighters focus on structure protection and evacuation, Larimer County Sheriff Justin Smith said.
