The Boulder View Fire stayed very active overnight, showing extreme fire behavior with 20 to 40-foot flame lengths in some areas.
For the safety of the public and firefighters, fire operations made the decision to place residences in that area of the fire into a “GO,” evacuate and “SET,” pre-evacuate status. Those statuses remain in effect at this time and the Red Cross has set up a shelter at the Cactus Shadows High School: 5802 E. Dove Valley Road, Scottsdale, AZ. Approximately 60 residences are impacted by the fire.
