Underground coal fire extinguished, Boulder County weather updates, and more local news [140 characters]

  • サマリー

  • Good morning, this is your Local Frequency Local Frequency Boulder for Friday, November 22, 2024.

    We start with breaking news: a significant project is underway at the Marshall Mesa Trailhead in Boulder County to extinguish an underground coal mine fire that has been burning for over 100 years. The Colorado Division of Reclamation, Mining, and Safety is leading this effort, which is expected to last four months. The goal is to cool the hot coal to below 80 degrees and prevent future ignition. While this work is ongoing, the Marshall Mesa Trailhead will be closed, but most surrounding trails will remain open, thanks to an interim trail built by Boulder Mountainbike Alliance volunteers[2].

    In local news, Boulder County government offices were closed early on November 8 due to snowy weather conditions, but 24/7 public safety and maintenance operations were not affected. Additionally, the county reminds voters to check their mail ballot status if they haven't already signed up for BallotTrax, with a deadline to cure any signature issues by November 13[1].

    Moving to cultural events, while there are no specific events highlighted for today, we encourage you to explore the vibrant arts scene in Boulder. From music venues on Pearl Street to the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art, there's always something to discover.

    In sports, local teams are gearing up for the winter season. Keep an eye out for upcoming games and tournaments at the University of Colorado Boulder and local high schools.

    On the job market front, there are no major hiring announcements or new job postings to report today. However, Boulder County residents can take advantage of up to $4,000 in rebates for energy-efficient home upgrades through EnergySmart’s Income-Qualified Rebate Program[1].

    In real estate, there are no notable commercial or residential property sales to report today. However, the Marshall Mesa Trailhead project will eventually lead to the development of a new trailhead with improved vehicle and shuttle access, parking, and an accessible trail.

    From city hall, Boulder County has updated its Flood Insurance Rate Maps for unincorporated areas, effective October 24, 2024. This change may impact insurance rates for some residents[1].

    Weather-wise, it's a chilly morning in Boulder, with temperatures expected to rise throughout the day. Check the forecast for the latest updates before planning your outdoor activities.

    In new business activity, there are no major openings or closings to report today. However, the Wildfire Partners and Mile High Youth Corps have provided free wildfire mitigation services for the Sans Souci Mobile Home Park as part of a pilot program[1].

    Looking ahead to community events, the annual public meeting on prairie dog management on county open space is scheduled for Thursday, December 5[1]. Additionally, the Boulder County Coroner's Office has released information on recent incidents, reminding us of the importance of safety in our community[3].

    In local school achievements, we don't have specific updates today, but we always celebrate the hard work and dedication of our students and educators.

    For great deals, keep an eye out for local promotions and discounts at your favorite grocery stores and restaurants.

    Finally, a feel-good community story: the Boulder Reporting Lab, a nonprofit news site, has won 15 Colorado Press Association awards, including Editorial Excellence, for their commitment to quality, non-partisan journalism[4].

    This has been Boulder Local Pulse. We'll see you tomorrow with more local updates.
