It was nerve-wracking 24 hours for Table Mesa south resident Gilad Gordon.
“You see that ridge of pine trees, just very shortly above it, those were on fire yesterday as I was coming out of the house,” said Gordon on Sunday.
Evacuation notices went out to about 20,000 people using two different notification systems. Everbridge, which focuses on sending alerts to landlines and wireless subscribers, and the Wireless Emergency Alerts, or WEA, that uses cell phone towers to ping anyone who may be near the area. The Boulder Office of Emergency Management received several complaints from people outside of the evacuation zone, who also received these alerts, some saying the scope was too broad.
