I was near 144th and I25 around 3pm (Cabelas) and I can easily smell the burn.
I just saw the update on the news and it is seriously tragic.

I'm about 30 min north.
Did fire spread to east of 36?
YesQuote:

plenty of room for trailers, campers, as well.
Praying the winds stop, and the rain starts. Stay safe out there folks.
If anybody is displaced we can put up a couple folks if need be.
All I can say is Holy Freaking Crap!
I saw the plume in Marshall from out house when it was just minutes old this morning.
My Dad called this 30 years ago when they started the massive building effort out there (Rock Creek)- "One of these days, it's all just gonna go away." He was right.
such horrific loss of personal property. So, so sad and hard to watch with a helpless feeling. Prayers for all involved. And on top of it all, the time of year. Just sad.

I've been thru about a 1/2 dozen... I've never seen anything like that. I don't know if I can help anyone but the offer's open if you think of something I can do for you. Maybe in the longer term once the immediate crisis is over.Quote:

3-7 inches of snow forecast for the fire area tomorrow. Hopefully that will put the fire out.

Ugh, this is heartbreaking. Lots of friends and family in the area. We are now in Fort Collins and will probably have some houseguests tonight.
Wire tie it up. That way it can't be hooked, but if you grab it and pull, the wire tie will break and the door will open.Quote:

I haven't confirmed yet, but some people have posted that scanner traffic reports hydrants are running out of water in Louisville.
Would a power outage at the pump station cause that?
Anyone listening on Broadcastify confirm?
View from Boulder.
And view from sky.

Is this suspicious? After her second arson charge this month do you suppose she got out of jail just in time to start the Middle Fork and Marshall fires in Boulder County today? Are downed powerlines a convenient excuse?
Smoke visible some 200 miles away.

Just got home and got caught up on this. Many friends in immediate area.
You guys stay safe.
ive been following this on these sites - any better ones? sorry i dont use twitter.......
https://bouldercounty.maps.arcgis.co...50df0ca0f00fc5 this was linked to the broomfield evacuations
https://data.coloradoan.com/fires/
my in laws are in the evacuation area (superior) and there's literally houses in their sub division that are on fire and they refuse to evacuate because they're scared looters will come in and rob them. I'm so angry right now.
Took a trip with the family about 2 hours ago to a good vantage point to see the area. Went to 128 and the Interlocken area on top of a hill. It's pure carnage. Could see houses exploding into a mushroom cloud of flames. whole neighborhoods burning. Looked like a carpet bombing site. I'm currently getting my important shit packed up as I'm only a few blocks from an area in Westminster that just got their evacuation notice. I have a place in Lakewood where I can bug out.
This shit is terrible. Forest type fires are inevitable, but folks that buy homes in the suburbs don't usually bet on these things intentionally. Seems that they are starting to shut down some hot spots to keep the spread down at least.
Offer stands. Can accommodate up to 2 dogs, or other small animals (including fish-in a pinch), no cats, but can assemble a small corral for a big critter. Vehicles, trailers, rvs, campers, etc welcome.
If this bitch runs across the former Rocky Flats property I am sure glad I don’t live downwind.
When they were cleaning it up and trucking out waste at a meeting I went to with the contractor collateral contamination became a topic of discussion.
Fire was one of their worst fears, not only could contamination (plutonium) be released directly by the fire on the ground but it would remove ground cover which helps keep it pinned down.
Funny how the media hasn’t touched on that.
More covid cases....Quote:

Although, if it burned, it's not their faultQuote:

I know we have members who live in the area and with family in the area.
I sincerely hope all are safe and properties are intact.
I want to thank all of you that offered to help. There are several ranchers in that area with cattle and horses. I did see a caravan of horse trailers on the news so hopefully they got as many out as possible, maybe some of you were in that caravan. We had to evacuate my Mother in Law from Louisville and start Pre-Evacuation where I live in Lafayette. I could see the fire from my house which was a little too close for my liking. It made me realize I've got too much stuff. I'll probably have a Fire Sale in the near future, lol.
Stay Safe!
Just looked at the evac map and my son's place is in it. Must have included it after I went to bed. He's in South Dakota until Sunday.
Perfectly stated.Quote:

This event is terrible and many peoples lives are being destroyed by it. If there is anything we as a site, or I as an individual can do to help, please let us know.
