Larry Donner Boulder fire chief talks to Boulder Channel 1 news this afternoon.
Larry Donner Boulder fire chief:” People need to have a heightened awareness this weekend. It is very dry out. Though we are not in Red Flag Warning situation which requires high wind and high temperatures, we could go there if the wind picks up. tomorrow, saturday, the temperatures will high enough. Heightened awareness in in order.
We have low moisture so by mid day when the temperatures heat up ‘flashy fuels” such as grass ( these are the ones which burn first) are easily igniteable ”
People need to put defensible space around their homes and not put that work on their to do list. that includes moving firewood and cutting tall grass near homes. Some people think that grass is not much of a threat, but 4 foot high grass can have a crown of ten feet and be very dangerous.
Wildland fire behavior is much like flood water behavior. Fire has currents and eddies. So when you’ll notice that two or three houses in a neighborhood will be burned and one will be left standing, that is most probabluy a result of the currents formed by fires.
residents don’t realize just how dangerous wild land fires can be until it is too late. In the four mile fire we had people on sunshine canyon who didn’t want to leave, but the fire was moving so fast, that though it was a few miles away they waited until smoke and embers forced them out . That is a dangerous situation for everyone. those embers were the size of roof shingles and they were blowing one mile in front of the fire. We can’t stop that.
fire fighters lives are put at risk when residents do not want to leave. They don’t think it is so bad, but if they get in the way of fire fighting efforts, we have to then have to rescue them and in some cases our selves. That was the case in the four Mile fire.
What people need to realize is that if the wind is blowing in a hot wild land fire, The fire is moving at 40 miles per hour. You can’t out run that. It comes up on you real fast and then it is too late.
There have been experiments done in Australia where residents stayed behind to fight wild land fires, but when the fire arrived at their property it was crowning at 10 to 20 feet , moving at 30 to 50 mph, was extremely hot ..and it killed everyone in its path. That’s what we always want to avoid in Boulder.
I scratch my head when I see most wild fires are human caused. People should not be burning anything near open space with conditions like this. this is a very hightened condition for fires..
We have something called “point protection, where we will pick the most likely house to save, but down the road 3 or 4 other houses will burn because of poor space protection, high winds and flying ambers.
So , yeah, this weekend remain vigilant and aware.”
Social media and young voters failed to vote in the last election. Boulder’s over indulgence with Twitter and social media marketing experts completely failed the Democrat party. This demonstrates that social media is just another American flash in the pan and cannot be depended upon for consistent marketing
Analysis of the recent mid term elections now show that 20 somethings on twitter failed to vote, handing the election to Republicans. Social media failed to get out the vote for Democrats . Locally, Boulder twitter was mostly devoid of get out the vote activity. social media gurus spent election periods in idle chit chat, gossip and bitching over their lives.
On Friday many of them now complained about Republicans control of congress failing to see that their field of work is an untennable solution for elections.
Twitter in Boulder by daily social media proponents complain about republicans but seemed oblivious to their own failing in getting out the vote nationwide.
Saturday Halloween festivities remain peaceful
Revelers and police officers experienced few problems on Saturday, Oct. 30, despite higher than usual crowds on the Pearl Street Mall on what was anticipated to be the busiest night of the Halloween weekend.
Crowds on the Pearl Street Mall reached an estimated size of 3,000. Police made three arrests on the Mall between 9 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 30, and the early morning hours of Sunday, Oct 31. One was based on a warrant; the other two stemmed from behavior. Citation totals were not immediately available, but based on preliminary reports, those numbers are expected to be low as well. There was no Naked Pumpkin Run on Saturday.
The police department, city officials, downtown partners, as well as the university and fraternity communities worked together to communicate in advance about the importance of safe celebrations. In addition, City Manager Jane S. Brautigam extended the usual Halloween prohibitions for open and closed containers of alcohol on the Mall to include Saturday night.
Brautigam walked the Mall with officers and witnessed many positive interactions between police and participants in Halloween festivities.
“I am proud of our officers for their work responding to what could have been challenges,” Brautigam said. “Once again, our community emphasized the importance of public safety, and those who came to Pearl Street to celebrate remained conscious of that priority. We appreciate everyone’s fun-spirited cooperation.”
No additional releases are anticipated this weekend, unless conditions change and updates are warranted

This week we experienced the gang mob mentality of Twiiter hatemongering gone bad. Led by a few women one who calls herself @laurasrecipes and the other @fourmileheros. These two anonymous shadows are non existent; that is they have a picture and a name but they could be men or computer viruses. @fourmileheros colleced $1000s of dollars selling poster for Boulders fire in September but never sent us an accounting. To our knowledge she or it never gave any money to four mile canyon fire victims.
Worse they insert themselves into local issues and then start milking the crowds emotions. They have their loyal following of other equally anonymous women who look for a window of hate and then pounce. In our case they don’t like our reporting and then start threatening us.
some of the men include corporate engineers or mostly PR types who threaten companies to buy their services: Like brett greene and his girlfriend who are also anonymous non existant people on twitter.
When we track these people we always come up with websites that are sketchy, no address’s or phone numbers. They are Boulders hate speach militias on twitter. A very dangerous group of 20 somethings who hang out in places lie The Cup on Pearl Street.
They use intimidation, lies, slander, libel all on twitter to try to kill people, ideas, or anything they hate this week. So what we do is what we do best; tell you who they are , what they do and expose them both here and on TV. We won’t lay down for these Cretans (obviously) but local business’s need to fight back at this mob mentality on Twitter. It exists on Yelp and Facebook too.

Police are receiving many tips on the suspect who assaulted Boulder sergeant Jim Byfield according to commander Kim Stewart. ” we just need thee tip that will close this case” she said. The new $10,000 reward has many people coming forward. “This guy talked to some people we know that. ” she said.
Boulder police have been all over the hill daily. They’ve been to all the fraternities and CU athletics. Every police officer is looking for the suspect. Besides that Every police officer in every community and all 50 states looking for this thug. Beating up a police officer is not taken lightly by the men and women in blue. Our research show that over 90% of assaults on a police officer are solved.
The question is does this suspect want the cops to find him, arrest him and turn him over to the DA or will his girl friend or mother turn him in before the cops hunt him down which is inevitable. Right now he faces a long list of charges: 1st degree felony assault, Assault on a peace officer, assault with a deadly weapon, attempted murder all of which carry mandatory prison terms adding up to over 100 years. But that’s not all. There are approximately 30 other charges that could be added to this which could add up to over 250 years in prison.
The District attornies office in Boulder is not in a plea bargaining mood either. One thing the reward will do is have the suspects friends turn him in so that he does not spend life in prison over this. These are his choices now according to Commander Stewart. His friends can save him from more bad choices. The attempted murder with a deadly weapon could be dropped if his friends come forward. That’s the difference between coming out of prison a young man or coming out ready for social security which he won’t qualify for.
