Justin Dombrowski Fires Quotations

It has allowed for more fires and the wind has fanned those fires, turning them into hundreds, if not thousands of acres.

We've been seeing hundreds of fires this winter, basically multiple fires everyday. When you talk about these wind events that have been coming through, instead of these fires where firefighters can quickly stop them, they're turning to thousands of acres.

With the winds we have today (30-35 mph in Boulder County), you could have fires that could outrace fire trucks trying to chase it. You could have fires that move so fast, you can't get out of the way on time. You could start not just losing a home, but home after home after home.

With these types of fires and how fast and aggressively they burn, this needs to be a wake-up call for people to be careful.

Think of the resources that we use, like air tankers. We're talking about fires that cost millions of dollars a day to fight.
