The cities of Superior and Louisville, with a total population of 33,000, have been evacuated by wildfires.
In the United States, in the state of Colorado, the evacuation of local residents began due to forest fires. About this on Thursday, December 30, it says in a tweet from the Boulder County National Weather Service.
“Those who are near the site of the fires, please prepare an evacuation kit with all important documents, medicines. Anything you need. Follow these tips if an evacuation begins in your area,” the message says.
The Governor of Colorado has declared an emergency regime due to wildfires.
“The Governor has declared an emergency situation due to the fact that vegetation is on fire in Boulder County,” the regional head’s office said on the website.
In the city of Superior, which has a population of 13,000, an evacuation order was announced after massive reports of power outages and grass fires began to arrive at Boulder County Police. Later, the evacuation order was extended to the city of Louisville, where about 21 thousand people live.
As reported AFR, the National Meteorological Service said gusts of wind contributed to the spread of the fire. They reached 110 miles (177 kilometers) per hour.
