No, but I've evacuated a boulder before. Too much fiber. It hurt :(
Boulder is burning March? Not a good sign. Global warming has consequences, people!
Anthropogenic arson.

There have been a dozen or more fires already in the foothills and plains. March is usually the snowiest month of the year, but it's unseasonably warm and dry. Oh, and spring arrives a good two or three weeks ahead of the past, and winter arrives later. These are facts.
Bum fire.
Burn the witch..
The warmest February on record, No moisture, 80's temps, the fires started back in February.
The crazy thing is that since the beginning of the year over 100 fires have been started by bums in this state. I live in the springs, feel free to look it up, there was 3 fires last week alone all in the homeless village on the south end of town. One almost got very out of control as it was next to the highway. Most fires don't make the news though.
that being said, we're screwed this summer it's been 75-85 degrees everyday for serveral weeks in Colorado... In MARCH.

Lit roaches getting tossed aside in the dry brush, most likely

Or they pass out in front of their camp fires. They should round up the bums and put them on a bus to Portlandia.
This. I live on Bear Creek Trail in Lakewood. Saw one hobo camp in the last 15 years until this winter--now there's 3 or 4 a week. The cops roust them out, and they just move. One cold sunday night, there was a haze of campfire smoke so thick I thought it was a wildfire. When I called 911, they said it was a group of homeless campfires. Makes me regret voting to legalize weed.

Really? I run out there once a week (several times a week last year) mostly west of Wadsworth and only occasionally see someone seeming to be camped out. Mostly older folks or young couples walking with dogs.

I wonder what people think of historical weather variability, droughts, ice ages, etc.
