A wildfire in the rugged Colorado foothills, Four Mile Canyon, just north of Boulder has destroyed a few buildings and caused an evacuation of the area. No injuries have yet to be reported. At least four roads have been closed, as thick smoke enveloped the area. The fire broke out in the Four Mile Canyon northwest of Boulder. Officials did not immediately offer an estimated size of the blaze.
“It was tremendously dark about an hour ago,” said Marilyn Cole, who was works at a nearby store. “It’s very, extremely hazy.”
The cause was still unknown.
Evacuation centers were set up in Boulder and in the mountain village of Nederland, and a shelter for livestock was set up at the Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont.
There are homes and cabins scattered throughout the area, as well as a few old mining towns. Authorities did not release an estimate on how many buildings had been destroyed so far. One fire vehicle was destroyed, said Patrick von Keyserling, a spokesman for the Boulder County Office of Emergency Management.
Authorities are currently working to put out the fire, but right now, details are still scarce.
