Glad to hear that #SunshineWildlandFire is 100% contained and crews are heading home. With the massive cold weather coming in I cannot imagine how hard that work is.

We are very happy to report that the fire is 100% contained and the evacuation warning and road closures have all been lifted. There was no new fire growth today. A huge thank you to everyone who worked hard today, in cold and windy conditions, to make this happen. #SunshineWildlandFire

View from Superior of the #SunshineWildlandFire Taken Dec 19 at approx 3:15pm. As the anniversary of the Marshall Fire is fast approaching this was particularly traumatic for me yesterday.

Per fire management, the fire had no, to little growth overnight. Firefighters have increased their containment to 40%. We will receive an updated fire size after a multi-mission aircraft flyover. There are 60 firefighters working on the fire this morning. #SunshineWildlandFire

There were no significant changes or growth in the fire last night. We anticipate being able to provide an update once the incoming crews relieve the overnight crews and complete their transition and briefing. #SunshineWildlandFire

No new big updates on the #SunshineWildlandFire. Evacuation zones haven't changed from the overnight period.

It took until about 9pm for the winds to die down according to the weather station at the NCAR Mesa Lab. Winds are generally from the northwest between 5–10 mph.

The aviation forecast for Rocky Mountain Metro indicates winds will be at about that level most of the day, so that should hopefully allow for better containment. A 4-hour period tomorrow is marked for increased wind activity.

#boulder county evacuations are still in place, fire containment sounds like it is still at 25% and 16 acres.

Boulder friends - were you able to stay informed abt #SunshineWildlandFire yesterday (and still now) here on mastodon?

it seems a lot of us went over to twitr to monitor Mitchell Byers' scanner reporting.

i appreciate Mitchell's work - truly - but he can't be the only one with an emergency scanner (is it an actual scanner or a service like https://www.broadcastify.com/ ?)
