LAST UPDATE: It's over. #boulderfire #domefire #bouldercanyonfire Winds die fire dies Close call Its's over
Oct 29th
This fire has come to an end. It is no more than 20 acres in total. No structures or homes seem to have been lost as of last reports. Winds are down to 3 mph. For all practical purposes this fire is contained and under control though officials have not stated it.
This Dome Fire has been nothing like the Four Mile fire of labor day weekend. Any further reporting by us on this event would be milking the situation. Though some electricity has been turned off in the city and there have been evacuations, the fire does not pose a threat to life or property and it is receding. It should be completely over tonight and residents should not be frightened. With hope everyone will be back home with the power back on. Good Day.
UPDATE: City of Boulder begins MORE evacuations #boulderfire

| 10/29 – City evacuations ordered |
| City orders evacuations of selected west Boulder neighborhoods
The City of Boulder has begun mandatory evacuations of neighborhoods in west Boulder. All residences and businesses within the following boundaries are being ordered to evacuate: west of 7th Street from Canyon Boulevard on the south to North Street on the north. An evacuation center has been established at the Coors Event Center on the University of Colorado – Boulder campus. There are an estimated 1,700 people and 800 units within these boundaries. The evacuations are in response to the Dome wildfire in Boulder Canyon near Dome Rock on City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks property. More than two dozen firefighters are on scene working the fire, and a one-seat plane has been making drops of retardant in the area. Additional ground and air support has been requested. “As a precaution and to aid responders dealing with the Dome Fire, we are ordering a mandatory evacuation in some neighborhoods within the city,” said City Manager Jane S. Brautigam. “We are asking that residents follow the directions of emergency crews now so that emergency equipment can be positioned and crews can focus on extinguishing the wildfire. Resident and business cooperation is greatly appreciated as we work to contain this fire.” Frequent updates are being posted to http://www.boulderoem.com/emergency-status. |
UPDATE: #BOULDERFIRE #DOMEFIRE #boulderfire #bouldercounty confuses citizens
Oct 29th
To make matters more confusing in the early stages of this fire in Boulder colorado , Boulder County has not
not notified news media of this fire, they are conducting secret messaging on their dumb oem website, as though the public even know what or where that is. On top of that they have confused social media namely twitter by naming this fire #Domefire instead of #boulderfire, so it is impossible to get information early on
