And remember... this feed is from a private citizen, using their own radio equipment and they are footing the bills to run, maintain and keep the radio in service. Here is a short bio of whoever this generous person is...
This feed uses a RS Pro-197 and a Uniden Bearcat BCD996T digital scanner pair. The receivers are located at Approx. 8000 ft elevation in Evergreen, CO. I am broadcasting Alpha Tags along with the audio. Listeners who use Winamp can see the tags which display the agency, talk group and/or frequencies.
Programmed are the Denver area Foothills Fire Departments / EMS for the Evergreen and Conifer areas including the I-70 and 285 corridors. The Colorado State Patrol District 1a and Jefferson County Sheriff Department are also programmed.
Hat's off to our Evergreen friend. (now... get on CenturyLink's ass about the DSL problem).
That's BearMtnHIB, by the way. (Not personal info, he's posted that he is the one who provides that feed himself before).
jf1acai bounces in here a lot, but you can always find him at disastersupportvolunteers.com. I'll shoot him a PM and see if he can enlighten us!

Thanks Walt! We had a ton of thank you's and shares from people regarding your report - the Facebook and Twitter 285Bound followers deeply appreciated the information, as it's been hard to come by otherwise. I'll try to be there, but can't guarantee I can make it (I'll never hear the end of it if we're late for swim lessons and if it goes 30 minutes like yesterday's, we'd be late).
I'd like to remind everyone to sign up for CodeRED
and fill out whatever information you are comfortable providing in the Smart911
database as well to help first responders find, contact, and assist you in evacuating in an emergency. Thank you!

I didn't see the live feed of the press conference... I was there. Anyway... I'm going to post CHANGES and new information... and then I'll come back and post all the minueta (holy cow... I spelled that right the first time)... I have a whole incident package... I got it from Dan Dallas himself.
Onward...
1) Official size of fire from overnight infrared scans is 498 acres
2) Containment 5% (and Incident Commander Dan Dallas said this should go up significantly by the end of shift today)
3) Personal on fire line is 283
4) There are no changes in the evacuation plan in either Level 3 or get-ready Level 1. They will assess this with local authorities tonight and make changes if needed. Even if they do change the standing Level orders... any returns of citizens will be done in stages.... as they see fit... as safety warrants it.
5) Weather - winds are coming from the south/southwest blowing north/north east
Their primary concern is with the north and east side of the fire line (Division X). That's the side toward Deckers, and from the FoxTon River Rd intersection going south/east and down river from there. That line is advancing, slowly, but it's the side of the fire MOST affected by the wind pattern today.
Division A and Division X are working the "fingers" that come down the south and south east side of the Platte, putting them out and making sure nothing jumps the river.
The 5% containment is at the southwest end of the fire, towards Buffalo Creek. That doesn't mean it's out at that end, and any shift in wind patterns could whip the fire up again.
Overall... they feel progress has been made... but they need to remain most vigilant all around, and specifically on the northeast/and east flank of the fire.
