Fire Threatens Boulder Area
From Times Wire Reports
About 200 residents fled a mountain neighborhood while others chopped down trees to remove fuel from the path of an 800-acre fire that threatened about 250 homes. The fire’s thick pall of smoke spread eastward for miles from the canyons and foothills about 12 miles southwest of downtown Boulder. As constantly shifting winds fanned the flames, fire managers were doubtful they could contain the blaze.
