UPDATE: Jamestown ordered evacuated at about 12:30 PM. Fire over 600 acres by 1:40 PM.

Evacuations in west Castle Pines for the Cherokee Ranch fire.

You have to wonder about the co-incidence of all of these fires spread almost as far apart as possible in the major metro areas of Los Angeles and Denver...

9News coverage and on Cherokee Ranch here. The Denver Channel coverage.

The Jamestown fire is at 30 acres as of about 11:45 AM today, and just started another small fire a mile north as the winds whipped flames from canyon-top-to-top.

Another lesson that Colorado, and the country, need better and more intergrated plans:

Fire managers have called for an additional 30 firefighters, bulldozers and a helicopter. But they say many resources have already been diverted to fight the wildfires in California.

and...

Boulder Rural Fire Protection Agency Capt. Mike McNamara said that although Boulder County did send firefighters and fire engines to help with the California wildfires, the fire departments are not stripped and do have enough resources to fight the blaze.

However, the department is trying to hire a private helicopter to help out and make water drops because all of the available aircraft have been dispatched to southern California to fight those infernos.
