Changes are being considered at the CU South property and we want to hear from you!

The University of Colorado Boulder is seeking to annex land it owns near Table Mesa Drive into the City of Boulder, and donate about 80 acres of that land to the city for improved flood mitigation and for open space. We want to know what you think should be included in the annexation agreement.

Around 8:30 p.m. on January 15, Wellington Fire responded to a structure fire on N. County Road 9, north of Wellington. When Engine 16 arrived on scene, they saw a barn approximately 1,000 square feet in size fully engulfed in flames. Firefighters began a defensive attack on the fire to prevent it from spreading to a nearby home and field. Additional personnel and a water tender were requested from Poudre Fire Authority due to the lack of fire hydrants in the area. Firefighters from both agencies were able to control the fire shortly after arriving on scene. Firefighters with Wellington remained on scene overnight to put out hotspots and monitor for any flare-ups.

This afternoon we celebrated the graduation of Driver/Operators J. Birnie, S. Elder, M. Manzo, and N. Schneeberger after completing Poudre Fire Authority Acting Captains Academy. Over the past week, they learned everything from handling personnel issues to being the lead incident commander. They also learned how to operate new tools and technology they do not use in their currents roles as driver/operator.
