Two fires started on December 30th, the MIDDLE FORK FIRE which started on this day just after 1030 hours MT due to an unknown ignition source in the area of North Foothills and Middle Fork was said to have received reports of several powerlines down, transformers blowing which has caused several grass fires from the downed and sparking lines, said the BCSO PIO on the date the incident took place. They also stated a second fire was burning near the block of North Broadway.
MARSHALL FIRE
Firefighters would quickly knock down this fire and were holding it to one acre. Crews on scene mopping up. A WIND WARNING was issued for the Boulder County area with west winds expected to reach 25 to 40 mph and with gusts to 80 mph. A damaging wind warning was given stating it will blow down trees and power lines and to use caution, especially high profile vehicles.
A second large fire named the MARSHALL FIRE was reportedly near the area of South Foot Hills and Marshall Road, which spread quickly to Superior, portions of Louisville, and areas in unincorporated Boulder County just after 1100 hours MT on December 30th. Conditions were volatile and unsafe. At that point, the fire had burned 1,600-plus acres and was still spreading rapidly on the day it ignited. They thought the cause was powerlines but after searching the ignition point, there were only communication lines in the area, which would not have started the fire. They are still investigating and are not going “assume” what the cause is or they could be going down a rabbit hole. That is not their intention and they are still actively investigating the cause.

FIRE RESPONSE
Current Fire Status
Snow is falling in various areas where fires had impacted communities and areas, which is welcome but it is also bringing challenges. Fire transitioned over to a Federal Type 1 response with the Boulder County OEM as the lead agency. (as of 1312 MT).
As one who knows, we have covered a lot of wildfires, brush and grass fires over the last ten years, and when the media or others are complaining because firefighters are not going to head of the fire to stop it is ridiculous and absolutely dangerous. Why do we say this? Because when the winds are blowing up to 105 mph this not only puts firefighters’ lives in danger but is endangering the resources deployed to stop this fire safely and effectively.
Generally, wildland firefighters are fighting from the left and right flanks to the heel of the fire and then when it is safe to do, so the head of the fire. This was not your atypical brush /wildfire but more or less a firestorm burning up everything in its path. It was just like those in California, where it had been an unstoppable freight train.
KUDOS to all those who helped put out major fires and to hospital workers at Centura Avista Adventist Hospital for stopping the fire from impacting their major outdoor oxygen tanks that could have decimated their facility, killing citizens and staff to saving their building and lives around them. – Ed.

CAUSE
Initial reports of downed powerlines in or near the ignition area. Xcel Energy Colorado has been a very responsive and invaluable partner. At this point, they have inspected all of their lines within the ignition area and found no downed powerlines. They did find some compromised communication lines that may have been misidentified as powerlines. Typically, communications lines (telephone, cable, internet, etc.) would not be the cause of a fire. The full investigation is still ongoing and we will share more updates as they become available. – Boulder OEM official statement via their FB page

About Superior, Colorado
The town of Superior was created as a coal mining town, and built on this industry where it was developed in the late 1800s but not incorporated until 1904, where the name “Superior” came from the quality of the coal found in the area, according to the city’s website.
Mining was the driving force for this town until the Industrial Mine closed in 1945 and moved out of the area. The area would change into a ranching and farming community. Today, the largest residential community is known as Rock Creek Ranch, which was subdivided in 1987 and continues to grow rapidly with approximately 2,700 single-family homes and 1,800 multi-family homes. The current population is 12,483 residents.
About Louisville, Colorado
The city of Louisville was named after Louis Nawatny, a local landowner. The town started out as a coal mine and was built by coal miners. City Hall has The Miners Memorial statue which is a symbol of the history of the people who built the City. The town was incorporated in June of 1882. The town is host to 1,700 acres of open space, which is about 26% of the City’s land area dedicated to parks and public space surrounded by many restaurants, a thriving arts scene. Additionally, it includes 32 miles of trails, which spreads throughout the community, and the Coal Creek Golf Course with panoramic views of water features and of the Flatirons.
