I got an automated call from the county sheriff’s office today warning me about a grass fire that was burning just a few miles away from our house. According to the call, some folks nearby were required to evacuate – yikes!
I was quite relieved when I got a follow-up call notifying me that the fire had been contained.
Alex, was that in the Broomfield area?
Yep, just south of Broomfield.
Interesting, I saw smoke on the north side of Jeffco airport (was over at the mall). Not good news!
I stumbled upon your site quite a while ago and somehow wandered back. Cool to see another local blogger.
Fire Damage
Yesterday’s fire was in an open space area where we take the pup to let her run off-leash. It looks like the fire was stopped very close to some of the houses out there. Definitely a little too close for comfort.
I stopped by the side of the road…
Whoa, I am surprised I didn’t see this from my office window. I work in an office building off the Church Ranch exit on 36, but I face west…
