The Town of Jamestown is being evacuated due to the #CalwoodFire.
S. St. Vrain is now closed between Peak to Peak Hwy and the Town of Lyons, including Riverside Dr.

"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
