Flames engulfed a strip mall in Nederland early Thursday morning, forcing the evacuation of nearby residents, according to the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office.
As of 5:51 a.m., the fire had been “knocked down substantially,” but continued to burn, sheriff’s office spokesperson Vinnie Montez said in a video posted by the agency.
The flames are contained to the Caribou Village Shopping Center at 20 Lakeview Drive in Nederland, Montez said.
While crews continue to battle the fire, Montez said the following road closures remained in place:
- Eastbound Big Springs Drive at Colorado 119, also known as Bridge Street
- Westbound Big Springs Drive at Conger Street
- Eastbound Lakeview Drive at Colorado 119
- And westbound Lakeview Drive at Conger Street
It’s unclear exactly when the fire started, but emergency officials issued an evacuation order for areas around the shopping center and near Barker Meadow Reservoir at 3:28 a.m. Thursday.
The evacuation area is bordered to the north and west by Colorado 119, the south by Peakview Road and the east by the end of the Barker Meadow Reservoir, the map shows.
Information about the cause of the fire and the extent of the damage was not immediately available.
