The recent Dome Fire was first reported around 8:10am according to the Daily Camera, and strong winds such as those seen during the Fourmile Fire could blow the flames in any possible direction.

Evacuations have been ordered for Canyon Park subdivision, Sunshine Canyon up to Poorman Road including Seven Hills subdivision and Anemone Road, Knollwood subdivision, the City of Boulder in the area bounded by Canyon Boulevard on the south, High Street on the north and 7th Street on the east.

Boulder Community Hospital's Maxwell and Mapleton buildings will also be evacuated and all evacuated residents are being asked to go to the Coors Event Center on the University of Colorado campus.

Residents should expect to lose power in a large portion of the City of Boulder and western Boulder as the firefighters will start a 'back burn' to fight the fire. According to the Camera, power should expect to be out from 28th Street west to Nederland and from Baseline Road North to Iris Avenue for the next four hours at least.

Firefighters are very concerned about the wind and about the fact that some residents still have not recovered from the Fourmile Fire.
