New Warnings About Wildfire Evacuations

Thank goodness I live on Folsom, which is also 26th Street - Broadway, mentioned in the bulletin below, is actually 12th Street. That means that 3 houses (and the pets) that I take care of are in the new possible fire area. And, thank goodness, that at the moment, all the owners are at home... But the home I move into tomorrow is one on the west side of Broadway.... Here is the latest information regarding the fire, besides the fact that it is still only 30% contained:
"City officials are urging residents who live west of Broadway in Boulder to prepare in the event high winds forecast for this evening carry embers from the Fourmile Canyon fire into city limits.
Winds may reach 50 mph out of the southwest, which caused city officials to warn residents living roughly from Spruce Avenue north to Dakota Ridge to be vigilant.
"There are concerns about the fire's path becoming less predictable and the possibility of spot fires from embers," City Manager Jane S. Brautigam said in a news release. "We are certainly hoping for the best, but as a city, we are doing the very things we would urge residents to do — staying vigilant and planning for the worst."
Public works officials are mowing grass in open space along Boulder's western edge to reduce potential fuel for the fire while city officials plan in the event of the need for evacuations inside the city limits."
Here we go again!
