@MissAshes92 Late to the party here, but Blue Card has the most robust curriculum for what you��re describing. 50-hour digital course followed by a 24-hour simulation lab to get certified. It’s very heavy on communication, establishing command, span of control etc.

Incredible storm structure on the tornado warned cell in Lincoln County. #cowx

[Franktown Fire @FranktownFire]

A fast-moving landspout hit Franktown near the intersection of Hwy 83 and Hwy 86. 7 businesses within the shopping center sustained roof damage. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported, and all individuals have been accounted for. FFPD remains on scene to provide support.

[Aurora Fire Rescue @AuroraFireDpt]

As predicted by @NWSBoulder a brief landspout was observed in an open field as seen from the City of Aurora Public Safety Training Center between 15:09 and 15:13 this afternoon. Images captured looking northeast toward Watkins Rd., north of Quincy Ave. #cowx

@NWSBoulder The Palmer Divide is doing its thing. Looking west from Highway 86 and County Road 77 in Elbert County.

@angelamcase @9NEWS Yes you may.

Seeing smoke from US285 in Park County? Local, State and Federal firefighters are battling the #821Fire - An otherwise beautiful leaf peeping afternoon quickly turned dangerous forcing Deputies to evacuate a few nearby campsites. #cotraffic #cowx

Lightning likely sparked a vegetation fire in Castle Rock’s Ridgeline Open Space. A nearby resident contained the fire to a 10x15 ft area and Castle Rock Firefighters are extinguishing it now. Great to see a fast arrival from the DougCo helicopter. #cowx
