Again, please stop calling Dispatch to report the fire. Multiple crews are on scene and these calls are tying up valuable resources #boulder@BldrCOSheriff@boulder_fire
UPDATE: Per #Boulder County, they estimate 937 people were in the mandatory evacuation area, which included 389 structures (346 of them homes) #SunshineWildlandFire
So seen some confusion on the name of the fire. To my knowledge, it is still being called the #SunshineWildlandFire but on the scanner they have created a Sanitas and Sunshine command for crews to differentiate between the structure and wildfire responses
UPDATE: Per scanner, crews fighting the actual structure fire in Sunshine Canyon that started the wild fire have that scene contained to one structure, and fire is now smoldering. Again, this is not about the #SunshineWildlandFire, but the original structure fire that started it
East Boulder Community Center, 5660 Sioux Dr, is opening as the evacuation site at 5:30 p.m. People needing services are encouraged to go there. Large animal evacuation at Boulder County Fairgrounds. Small animal evacuations at Boulder Valley Humane Society. #SunshineWilandFire
ALERT: They just decided they are calling the wildland portion of the response the #SunshineWildlandFire, so we'll start using that hashtag to track it
The Humane Society of Boulder Valley is accepting evacuated companion animals from the fire in Sunshine Canyon. Free pet food and supplies are also available for anyone in need. Please come to 2323 55th St in Boulder.
