A wildfire is burning southwest of Boulder on federal property Friday morning, according to fire officials.
Fire crews from multiple agencies were en route to the flames — located between the Mallory Cave hiking area and Boulder Flatirons — around 11:45 a.m., Mountain View Fire Rescue said in a statement on social media.
The fire is burning on U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research land — a research center located 5 miles south of Boulder atop the 565-acre Table Mesa and funded by the National Science Foundation.
“At this point, no structures appear to be threatened,” fire officials said in the statement. “Please avoid the area to allow firefighters to get to work.”
This is a developing story and will be updated.
