A lightning-caused fire is burning approximately 100 to 200 acres this morning about half a mile from Poudre Park, according to the Forest Service.
The Seaman Fire currently is threatening structures, but no evacuation notices have been issued.
Firefighters and air support are working to put out the fire, but the conditions are working against them. Due to the high temperatures, today is a “red flag warning” day, meaning fire dangers are very high, according to a tweet from the Forest Service.
MORNING UPDATE: is 100-200 acres and active this morning with a warning in effect starting at 10 am. Structures are threatened near Poudre Park appx half-mile away. More air support en route. No drones!
