Boulder Local Frequency: Fire Safety, Campus Fun, and Spring Snow


Listen Later

Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Tuesday, March 3.

Folks, start your day with a heads up on that stubborn Bluebell Fire still smoldering in southwest Boulder's Chautauqua neighborhood. It sparked last Saturday near the cottages, growing to about half an acre under those dry, windy Red Flag conditions gripping the Front Range. Evacuation warnings are active, so if you're in the area, pack your go-bags and stay tuned to Boulder Fire Rescue updates. These blazes remind us how quickly our foothills can turn fierce, protecting homes means acting fast, and crews are on it around the clock.

Shifting to brighter skies, CU Boulder's buzzing with ways to shake off the winter chill. Tonight's pingpong tournament at The Connection kicks off at 7 p.m., free entry with prizes for the paddle pros, perfect for channeling that competitive energy. Over at the UMC Gaming Lounge, the Buff Cup runs from 3 to 7 p.m., pitting gamers head-to-head across genres, welcoming newbies and vets alike. And don't miss Super Smash Bros at The Connection starting at 4 p.m., where you could smash your way to glory.

Tomorrow brings more fun: Build a Buff Leadership Luncheon at noon in UMC 330 offers free pizza and tips on team accountability. Then Ralphie's Cooking Basics at 5:15 p.m. in the Village Center teaches scratch meals, all supplies included. Looking ahead, Friday's Fire Pit Friday on The Hill from 4 to 7 p.m. gathers students for cozy chats and emergency prep with Boulder Fire Rescue. Saturday's packed with Boulder Battle bouldering comp at the Rec Center Climbing Gym, JamFest 3v3 hoops, and Drag Bingo in the UMC Ballroom hosted by fabulous performers Kai Lee Mykaels and Trey Suits. Cap the weekend cheering the Buffs men's basketball against Arizona at 9 p.m. Friday in the CU Events Center.

On the community front, a protest unfolded today outside BI Incorporated's Boulder headquarters, spotlighting their federal immigration ties—voices demanding accountability in our backyard. Meanwhile, CU scholar Angie Chuang hosts a timely talk tonight at 5 p.m. in the Canyon Theater on Asian American belonging, tying into the fifth anniversary of the Atlanta spa shootings and media's role in identity. And brace for that Winter Weather Advisory—snow could dust us soon, so plan those outdoor adventures wisely.

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