Yesterday, Governor Polis issued verbal declarations of disaster emergency for the Currant Creek, Alexander Mountain and Stone Mountain fires. This morning he gave a verbal declaration for the new Quarry Fire in Jefferson County which started on Tuesday night. This declaration activates the State Emergency Operations Plan and directs the Department of Public Safety and its Divisions of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (DHSEM) and Fire Prevention and Control (DFPC) to take all necessary actions to assist with response, recovery and mitigation efforts for the Quarry Fire.
Governor Polis also visited a Red Cross evacuation shelter at Foundation Church in Loveland where he thanked volunteers and spoke with Coloradans who have been evacuated from their homes. The evacuation shelters are providing essential services such as meals, snacks, water, minor medical assistance and overnight shelter. Over 60 volunteer organizations with more than 100 volunteers are providing direct support at shelters across the front range and western slope.
Later today, Governor Polis will visit the Stone Mountain Command Center in Lyons to thank emergency responders for their efforts in keeping Coloradans and the community safe from the Stone Mountain Fire.
