You've probably heard the sad news that Boulder County suffered two raging fires on December 30th, this coming only three days after a mass shooting in Denver killed five people. It's been a rough few days on us Coloradoans. Over 900 structures burned in Boulder County, most of them homes, and as I type this the remains of one person have been found while another person is still classified as missing. The destruction was breathtakingly quick, all too reminiscent of the Waldo Canyon Fire in 2012 and the Black Forest Fire in 2013, collectively destroying about 857 homes here in our own city. Thus far it's been a dry, dry, dry winter and the winds have been insane. The threat of fire has us all on edge, even those of us who live in the middle of the city.
