Good afternoon,

My name Seth McKinney, and I am the Fire Management Officer for the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office.

A few of my staff and I had been signed up to the EMWIN list where any NWS-alerts/advisories were automatically pushed via text to our cell phones upon issue.

I have found that my staff and I have stopped receiving these at the beginning of the new year.

Could we possibly get back on the list?

Seth McKinney – Verizon – (303) 548-9624

Dave Buchanan – Verizon – (720) 527-2585

Peter Koretz – Verizon – (720) 483-3633

Kerry Webster – Verizon – (720) 415-6686

Kyle Holsinger – Verizon – (303) 817-6981

The five of us rotate as the on-call Fire Duty Officer for Boulder County, and part of that job is to be aware of NWS-issued weather advisories.

We use these advisories to institute short-term fire bans to regulate open burning in Boulder County, and having these alerts pushed to us real-time has been tremendously helpful in the past.

Thanks!

Seth McKinney
