Additional mandatory evacuations were ordered Sunday afternoon for areas around Boulder Canyon west of Magnolia and Sugarloaf roads (south and southeast of Barker Reservoir through Aspen Meadows), officials said.
There are two evacuation points available for residents to check in.
Evacuees can go to Nederland High School (597 Eldora Road) or the East Boulder Recreation Center (5660 Sioux Drive in Boulder). The American Red Cross said it has volunteers on scene and will provide water and snacks along with access to information. Both will serve as overnight shelters on Sunday.
Residents with large animals are being asked to take them the Boulder County Fairgrounds in Longmont. Small animals and pets can be brought with residents to the evacuation center.
Pre-evacuation orders have been sent to an additional 174 people on Sunday. Those people need to be prepared to evacuate at any time.
