#MarshallFire#Superior#Colorado Structure fire reported at 1119 W Enclave Cir. Quite a few other structures fires I have not posted, too many to track.
#MarshallFire#Superior#Louisville#Boulder#Colorado Structure fire reported at 363 Trune Court. Separately, they're trying to figure out exit routes as you can't go north or south on McCaslin. Fire about to cross Dillon at Coal Creek.
#MarshallFire#Superior#Louisville#Boulder#Colorado Report of a party refusing to leave, "having a psychotic episode". Earlier today a separate call about a mental patient on the loose trying to break into cars, too.
#MarshallFire#Superior#Louisville#Boulder#Colorado Lots of calls to Sheriff's Dept for help letting people know about the fire (elderly, people who don't answer their phone, sleeping, people who can't drive, etc.)
#MarshallFire#Superior#Louisville#Boulder#Colorado Caller not sure if she should evacuate, and wants to talk to someone. (Note: if you think you should evacuate, you are seeing fire or smoke, but aren't sure because no one told you to.. evacuate).
#MarshallFire#Superior#Louisville#Boulder#Colorado Castle Peak, Huron Peak, Maroon Peak all evacuated per PD. Fire Department telling SO they do want to know about new fires, do not have any personnel to respond.
Probably unrelated, but emergency of unspecified nature at the airport.
#MarshallFire#Superior#Louisville#Boulder#Colorado They are still trying to figure things out, but directing all troopers to the Omni Hotel, and requesting a headcount. If they do evacuate the command post, they will be moving it to the Omni Hotel, per dispatch.
Given what we know now, this most certainly is the signature from the oil spill (suspected when I posted an unprocessed image on Saturday, but confirmed).
This scene from Terminator 2 in the last few years has had me thinking about how you should be preparing kids for an uncertain future (not the blowing things up and weapons, but disaster preparedness and survival skills). "Here's how to perfect your golf game" isn't gonna do it.
Stuff they should know (all Boy Scout skills, btw): 1. Basic first aid. 2. Properly using a pocket knife and hatchet 3. How to build and start a fire (safely) 4. How to cook your own meals in the wilderness over an open fire
5. Basic navigation NOT using a phone, using a map and compass and general navigation skills when you don't have either of those. Reading a map, especially.
Since people are asking, how to geolocate a #hiker given only a general location and a grainy photo of their legs hanging off a cliff (thread) 1/x
1. Identify the general area (if available) of where the hiker was known to be. In this case, the location was near Mt. Waterman (a well known area in the Angeles Crest, popular with hikers). 2/x
2. If someone is lost along the Angeles Crest (if you keep tabs on the posts of @SEBLASD they post regularly on rescues), you find they are either NORTH of the Angeles Crest Highway or SOUTH of the Angeles Crest Freeway. How do we figure out which one here? 3/x
