Been glued to it most of the day.
Need some moisture. Drove past it on my way back from Lyons around noon and it was nasty.
Any idea how it started yet? I just figured some irresponsible townie started it while on their vacation.

My family and I loaded the truck yesterday to go to the Boulder Hometown Fair at the creek. We hit the road about 11:25 and saw the smoke. At the time there was no wind and the plume just rose almost straight up with some easterly movement. Downtown Boulder was not smokey but it was a bit dark. We did our best to distract the kids and let them play on the rides but by 1pm the Fire trucks were going by about once every 10 minutes full lights and sirens. We saw trucks from all over and thought we even saw Denver markings. At 1:15pm it was time to leave as men were walking around with Bullhorns asking people to move their cars from the municipal lot at the court house as it was going to be used as a staging area.
We called to offer help but it looked like the fine men and women of Boulder already beat us to it.
My thoughts and prayers to all those affected by this horrible fire.
Took the dog outside this morning at 5:30am and the smell of smoke is thick in the air.
Sure sux, summer almost over and now this. Boy I hope it wasn't a fuk'n idiot with a cig or a campfire not attended too.

I had the same thoughts.
Doesn't look like the evac boundaries have moves since last night.
Word is that an RV hit a propane tank, starting the fire. No confirmation but I've heard this from a couple of people.
Was it an owned RV or rented out to someone for a vacation? I've seen some of the worst driving ever from RV owners....
Godspeed to the firefighters and prayers that no one gets hurt....
Fire is bad stuff.
Right now the RV is a pile of ashes. No clue on details.
Just heard on BCS&F scanner that reporters are dressing up like firefighters to get through road blocks. Fawkin' idiots. [Mad]

anyone know how to check a specific address? Just got a call from a good friend about to get on a plane from NYC back to Denver who lives on Sunshine Canyon Dr.
Google Earth.. I've been able to take it down to where it was like I was standing across the street.. If the have the photos of the area, should be able to do that.

There has not been an assessment of standing/burned homes. This is the best place to start for any info.

In real time? All I get is the same pics as Google Maps.

that reporters are dressing up like firefighters to get through road blocks.
I've heard of stuff like this. Robbers and the such doing the same thing... Couldn't they be arrested and tried for impersonation or endangering or some such?

Using the identity of ANYONE to gain access to an emergency situation should be along the same lines as impersonating an officer of the law.
"Couldn't they be arrested and tried for impersonation...?"
Nah...that can't be accurate. If it were most reporters would be arrested and tried for impersonating "a reporter."

I've been evacuated in 1990 and almost evacuated a few times since. Guns, documents, pictures and.... oh yeah the wife gets packed up for the exodus.

I mean no disrespect by saying this but it's amazing to me how something so cool looking and almost pretty can be so devastating.

devastating for sure, every year it is a topic of discussion up here as summer rolls in. really bad when we have all this summer rain and lots of growth then the summers dries out, no rain here for over two weeks. a few drops on wed. but not enough to do any good.
