Is this pup yours? 🐶 When Engine 20 got back to their station in Highlands Ranch after a call, they found this cutie sitting around with no collar. 🚒 Station 20 is located across the street from Mountain Vista High School at 1801 E. Wildcat Reserve Pkwy, just west of Summit View Pkwy. If you recognize this handsome fella and can help get him home, please call the station at (720) 989-2320.

SMFR and @dcsheriff are actively responding to stranded motorists in Meridian Village at multiple flooded intersections. These conditions are dangerous and life-threatening. Avoid all areas with standing water immediately. Never attempt to drive through flooded roadways under any circumstances. Turn around now and take an alternate route without delay. Use extreme caution and give emergency crews the space they need to operate safely.

Operating a drone near a wildfire isn't just dangerous, it is a federal crime. It is critical to keep drones away from wildfires and let firefighters do their jobs safely. nitter.gq/dcsheriff/status/20741…

Your drone shot isn’t worth someone’s home, or someone’s life. Deputies responded to two grass fires along I‑25 near Castle Pines Parkway on Sunday. As the Douglas County firefighting helicopter approached to attack the flames, a drone was detected flying in the same airspace at the same altitude near the fire. That drone forced the helicopter to halt operations until it was grounded. With help from @SouthMetroPIO 's technology, crews quickly tracked down the drone and its operator. Deputies cited him for obstructing firefighting operations. We get it, capturing the scene might seem exciting. But during emergencies, every second counts. Please keep drones out of active fire zones so our teams can protect lives and property without delay. ***Be sure you’re following all FAA rules and have the proper licensing and certifications required for your specific drone before you fly.

Scattered thunderstorms will develop along the I-25 Corridor by early afternoon and then move quickly across the plains by early evening. Large hail and damaging winds will be the main threats from the storms, however, a brief tornado or two will be possible as well. #cowx
