The Flagstaff fire (also called Bison fire) was a forest fire located a few miles southwest of the city of Boulder, Colorado in Boulder County, Colorado. The fire was started by a lightning strike at 1:15 p.m., Mountain Daylight Time, on Tuesday, June 26, 2012, near the intersection of Flagstaff Road and Bison Drive, about three miles south of Flagstaff Mountain.〔 , the fire was not contained and had burned approximately . Evacuation had been ordered for 26 homes along Bison Drive in a small mountain subdivision. An evacuation center has been established at East Boulder Community Center in Boulder. The previous evacuation center, which was at New Vista High School in Boulder for the first few hours of the fire, has been shut down. A much larger neighborhood of southwest Boulder proper, consisting of everything south of Dartmouth Avenue (the southern boundary of the National Institute of Standards and Technology grounds) and west of Broadway, was given a pre-evacuation notification as of 5 p.m. on June 26, covering approximately 2400 households. This pre-evacuation order was lifted the following evening. However, Flagstaff Road remained closed except for firefighting vehicles. The Mesa Laboratory building of the National Center for Atmospheric Research in southwest Boulder, the nearest Boulder building to the fire, was evacuated about 3 p.m. on June 26 because of dense smoke. If the Mesa Lab had not already been evacuated, it would have been part of the pre-evacuation area. As of July 2, 2012, the Flagstaff fire was declared to be 90% contained and had burned 300 acres. ==See also== * 2012 Colorado wildfires * High Park fire west of Fort Collins, Colorado * Waldo Canyon fire northwest of Colorado Springs, Colorado 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Flagstaff fire」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
