@danielg7 @ali_budner Kudos and thanks for being an articulate spokesperson for this issue. I'm also crossing fingers that Canyon Lakes RD Rx can happen this weekend!
@wildland_zko Grassland fire ignition and spread. Boulder Co. sheriff estimates 580 homes and several large structures burned, I.e., a hotel. 32,000 evacuated. Dynamic situation. Wind event due to subside later this eve.
@TJTimberlake More likely that the locations, size and patterns of firesheds are changing and increasingly overlapping with the built environment. “Wildland” fire is already an obsolete term.
@PhilipHiguera @HartsTrees @taniaschoe @ThomasTVeblen Great posts Phil. A bunch of us at the Southwest Ecological Restoration Institutes and Fire Science Exchange Networks (incl. Camille) are brainstorming ways to continue pushing these great insights into mainstream conversations. There's demand for complexity and nuance.
@TJTimberlake Add in the always-problematic surface ozone and other pollutants, and the Colorado Front Range is an air quality nightmare this late summer season!
The Vice President deleted this tweet minutes after I pointed out it was in violation of Virginia law.
