Response

The City of Boulder assisted on the Overland Fire in October of 2003. This was the largest wildfire in Boulder Counties history (without knowledge of historical fires) at 3869 acres. City firefighters protected homes in Jamestown and provided safety, operations and other expertise to the incident.
