Waldo Canyon fire. (Denver Post)
Kent Bloom and Mem Morman evacuated their home in Colorado Springs on June 26 to escape the Waldo Canyon fire.
Morman told fans they have gone to live with her daughter across town.
Their house is not on the burned out list, so they are cautiously hopeful. The Waldo Canyon fire has burned 347 homes and is only 30% contained at this time, reports the Denver Post.

Bloom chaired Denvention 3, the 2008 Worldcon.
