Boulder fire

Wednesday and Thursday we had a wildfire in Boulder, just a short distance from our house. It all started because of the sustained high winds (60 mph or 100 km/h) which downed a power line onto a structure at a llama farm. The farm caught on fire and because of the winds the fire spread quickly. Below is a picture from the aftermath. (click for newspaper article). It's amazing how close the call was. Thank you to all the firefighters who did such a great job.


And here is a google map of the fire. I live South of the green evacuation area, close to where the 36 highway sign is.
