Jefferson County Sheriff's Office says neighborhoods are in danger
Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Mark Techmeyer said in a press conference that “every neighborhood in this vicinity is at risk.” No structures have been damaged, however, JCSO said if the fire reaches homes, firefighters will shift from suppression efforts to defending those homes.
Techmeyer said the conditions are “treacherous” due to steep terrain, fire debris and loose rocks. He said resources are slim as several fires are underway along the Front Range and hundreds of Colorado’s professional firefighters have been deployed to fires in other states.
He added that multiple air resources are improving the outlook, and said “it will make all the difference in the world.”
A deputy came across the fire when it was about 10 feet by 10 feet, “and within an hour of that it was at 50 acres,” Techmeyer said. “The investigation hasn’t even begun yet but I think anytime you see a small fire in the middle of an area like that at 9 o’clock at night, it makes you scratch your head a little bit.”
but some people are careless and i hope they are subject to the full effect of the law
