Storm King Fire and Colorado River at Glenwood Springs, Colorado, July 6, 1994.
Looking west toward Storm King Mountain from the Grand Avenue Bridge over the Colorado River on this hot July day with camera still in hand from a previous photographic assignment, I was suddenly struck by this scene of smoke and certain danger. Fourteen wildland firefighters would lose their lives within hours as a dry cold front came through a rugged area on Storm King overtaking a fire crew as it charged up a steep slope for the safety of a ridge–when the fire suddenly changed direction without warning. The small town of Glenwood Springs suffered in a fifteen-year span of time three major disasters. The Dutch Creek No. 1 Explosion at the Redstone Mine killed fifteen miners in 1981. The Rocky Mountain Natural Gas Explosion in 1985 took twelve lives, and the Storm King fire proved once again that bad luck can strike without warning or mercy. Taken with a Nikon F-3HP on Kodak color negative film using a short zoom lens, I witnessed a scene this day that blotted out the sun, turned the river red, and changed a small town forever.
