#SanitasFire

So it looks like there is still an evacuation order (below) and only 25% containment from what I see on OEM and the bad place. We don’t need another #BoulderFire. The lack of communication is disturbing. I don’t know if I’m not a proper mastodonite but I’m not finding the level of information and connection we had before

Unless there are major changes, this will be my last #SunshineWildlandFire update of the night #BoulderFire

Crews are on scene actively fighting the wildland fire

The original structure fire that triggered the wildland fire appears to be extinguished but still smoldering.

The ZoneHaven map has been reliably updated all day: https://aware.zonehaven.com/hazards/6f87a236-a994-47c4-8b63-c1e9754cc63c?z=14&latlon=40.02060014457928%2C-105.29609888792038

City of Boulder has lifted the evacuation warning for neighborhoods west of Sunshine Canyon, but there are roadblocks in place at a few of the westbound routes into the fire zone, including on Linden and Mapleton. Smoke readings are reduced in the urban neighborhoods west of the fire but still high right up near the canyon.

Chanukah on Pearl has been MOVED from the Pearl Street Mall to the Boulder JCC (6007 Oreg Ave. Boulder, CO 80303). From 5:30 - 7:30 pm TONIGHT (December 19). https://boulderjcc.org

Wind has been consistently 20mph with gusts to 40mph all day. Relative humidity is extremely low, even for a normal Boulder winter.

"Per #Boulder County, they estimate 937 people were in the mandatory evacuation area, which included 389 structures (346 of them homes) #SunshineWildlandFire" - @mitchellbyars@twitter.com

Mitchell Byars of the Daily Camera is a boss-level newsgatherer and you should encourage him to make the move here, away from the Bad Place. https://twitter.com/mitchellbyars

Stay safe, everyone! Wear your mask.

Fire crews requested support from a single engine air tanker (SEAT) aircraft and were denied, due to winds.

"on the scanner they have created a Sanitas and Sunshine command for crews to differentiate between the structure and wildfire responses" - @MitchellByars@twitter.com

Another fire threatening #Boulder CO #BoulderFire. With 60 mph wind gusts out there, I'm definitely keeping a close eye on evacuation orders.
