Nederland, which has burned to the ground before, was spared this time. More than 1,900 people were evacuated, and eight houses were burned before the fire was contained four days later. Embers from their campfire started a wildfire that threatened 1,000 mountain homes and the entire town of Nederland. On July 9, 2016, two transients left an illegal campfire untended on private property in the mountains above Nederland, Colo., where they had trespassed. To fans of the I-Team and Scarlet Springs series for their unwavering support. Thanks as always to Michelle White, Benjamin Alexander, Jackie Turner, Shell Ryan, and Pat Egan Fordyce for their support during the writing of this book. You helped me visualize a scenario I have (thankfully) never faced. Many thanks to Russ Shumway for his insights on wildland firefighting. This book is dedicated to our courageous wildland firefighters and their families, who sacrifice so much to keep us all safe.
