An emergency operations center was activated to address three active fires, according to the Office of Emergency Management. The fire south of the city of Boulder that is threatening Superior and Louisville is called the Marshall Fire.
Nearby towns are on high alert about the rapidly spreading fires. While there were not yet active fires in the city of Broomfield, the police announced pre-evacuation orders.
“Prayers for thousands of families evacuating from the fires in Superior and Boulder County,” Gov. Jared Polis said on Twitter. “Fast winds are spreading flames quickly and all aircraft are grounded.”
This is a developing story.
