Officials continue to assess conditions in communities to allow re-entry of residents as soon as it is safe. It is important to remember that fire may have changed the environment around your home and community; please be cautious as you return to your home and neighborhood. Be prepared to see your community changed in ways that you do not expect. Here are some things to consider when returning home:

  • There will be areas where you will need an ID to reach your property. Please be prepared to show ID and expect that it may take some time while authorities verify that only residents are entering these areas. Please be patient. The first responders at the roadblocks are trying to protect property from nonresidents and ease access for residents.
  • When returning home or traveling through the area, residents are asked to slow their speeds and be alert to hazards such as weakened trees and structures.
  • Residents are asked to limit driving to daylight hours only, to go directly to their homes, and remain in and around their home.
  • Burned structures can have many hazards in and around them. Please be aware of ash pits, holes, sharp objects (such as exposed structural materials), as well as areas that are still burning or smoldering in the structure. Snow may be covering hazards, including areas that are still hot. Please be sure areas where you are stepping and reaching are safe to prevent injury.
  • Power may not be restored to some these areas, and gas will likely not be turned on by the time residents return home. For those with electricity but no gas heat, Xcel Energy is distributing space heaters at the YMCA Lafayette and YWCA Boulder.
  • There is no portable water in the affected area so residents should be prepared to bring bottled water with them for all water needs, including for pets. Never use water you think may be contaminated to wash dishes, brush teeth, prepare food, wash hands, make ice or baby formula.
  • For residents without heat, please consider turning off the main water line and draining the house water lines to prevent a potential flood.
  • With the power outages, food in your refrigerator and freezer may be contaminated or spoiled. Dispose of any food that has been exposed to smoke, soot or heat or has thawed.
  • Visit Boulder County Public Health's Fire Safety webpage at www.bouldercounty.org/safety/fire/safe-cleanup-after-a-fire/ for additional safety information.
