RMNP Fire; Jessica Still Missing

The Fern Lake wild fire in Rocky Mountain National Park has spread to over 400 acres and is completely uncontained.  Due to windy conditions, the fire was allowed to burn in all directions today.  The fire was watched, but no fighting could be done.  Winds are supposed to be calm tomorrow, and 120 fire fighters are scheduled to work on containing the fire, with air support from one heavy-lift helicopter and a large slurry tanker.  Small pieces of ash were falling in Boulder today from the RMNP fire; the air was very hazy.
   Jessica Ridgeway is still missing. Tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. MDT, she will have been missing for 1 week - 168 hours.  She could be anywhere in the United States, or in another country by now.  The FBI has cleared her parents and relatives of any wrong-doing.  This 10-year-old girl disappeared within a 3-block radius of her home, walking to join friends, to walk to school.  Please stay alert for any possible sighting of this young girl.
