LARIMER COUNTY, Colo. — The trees on Bill Harvey ’s property are a testament to just how close the Alexander Mountain Fire was to taking his home. The green grass hits a point that instead is filled with ash and debris from Harvey’s once woodshop.“The fire was so hot, it probably cooked these trees and, you can see the trees behind me and stuff that they went through, the pine cones and pine needles,” Harvey said. “I mean, once it got going it was almost impossible to stop.
“Well, I was watching the news and they were talking about the Alexander Fire, and they were interviewing… Bill Harvey and he said that his woodshop burned down and everything with it,” Gribas said. “I thought, 'I have all this stuff in my garage, it’s just sitting there, and I would love to give it to someone who can use it.'”Thanks to the help of her grandson, Gribas had the tools laid out and ready for Harvey.
