Police, fire, 911 operators and other emergency responders need to improve communication across the board to better respond to another large scale wildfire, an after-action report prepared in the wake of the Marshall fire found.
The report listed dozens of recommendations for Boulder County’s 911 center, the Louisville police and fire departments, the county’s emergency operations center and the incident management team — an outside group called to help with large fires. Those recommendations included finding a way to manage overcrowded cell phone towers, faster ways to notify residents of evacuations and change the local siren system so they can be activated in a wildfire.
The report acknowledged the unprecedented nature of the Dec. 30 wildfire that killed two people, destroyed more than 1,100 homes and burned more than 6,000 acres and said that first responders performed well considering how fast the fire moved through Superior, Louisville and parts of unincorporated Boulder County. Aside for strong winds and dry brush and grass, the fire struck during the Christmas holiday break and amid an ongoing global pandemic.
“The evacuation of 37,500 people during a fast moving and multi-directional spreading fire in a relatively short period of time is unprecedented,” the report said.
