What people need to realize is that fire season is a year-round problem. If you don't have snow on the ground or it's not raining, you're in fire season.

This happened so fast that firefighters just had to stop the fire without having time to evacuate.

With the winds we have today (30-35 mph in Boulder County), you could have fires that could outrace fire trucks trying to chase it. You could have fires that move so fast, you can't get out of the way on time. You could start not just losing a home, but home after home after home.

There may be snow on the roof, but there's fire in the belly

I'm still dominant and that's what matters, ... But rain, snow, sleet, it doesn't matter. I'm going to go out and try and win a gold medal.

Rain, sleet, snow? It doesn't matter. I'm going to come out blazing .
