No Fires, Just Haze in the sky

DURANGO - After receiving several calls this afternoon from citizens concerned about the hazy conditions, the Durango Interagency Fire Dispatch Center would like to reassure the public that no fires have been detected in southwest Colorado.  A U.S. Forest Service reconnaissance flight this morning detected no fires, and an afternoon flight will be launched to verify there are no fires.  The weather report for southwestern Colorado calls for high clouds and high humidity, with prevailing winds from the west.  There are large fires in Washington, Idaho, Nevada and Northern California.
