September 22 – Two new free COVID-19 testing centers have opened up, this time locally in Boulder. Residents do not need to have COVID symptoms to be tested, just need to think they may have been exposed. (If you have severe symptoms go to a doctor.) Average waiting time is 30 minutes and results come back in about two days. Bring a mask and ID.
Drive-Thru Test Site: Gerald Stazio Softball Fields, 2445 Stazio Dr, Boulder. Take Arapahoe Road (Valmont Road will be closed) to 63rd Street; turn north onto 63rd Street; and follow to Stazio Drive; turn left on Stazio Drive and follow signs for testing.

 Pleasant Street parking lot at 1205 Pleasant Street, in Boulder.
Hours for both sites are 9 a.m. – 3 p.m., 7 days per week. The walk-up testing site will be available through September 30 and the drive-thru site will be available through October 2, but can be extended depending on case positivity rates.

September 23 – – Forest Fires:
==Cameron Fire, the one effecting Lyons the most, has increased to 104,658 acres; additional mandatory and volunteer evacuations have been issued.
==The Pine Gulch Fire, largest in CO history, is now 100% contained. It burned 139,007 acres. It was sparked by lightning on July 31, located north of Grand Junction, but in remote areas. The Hayman Fire burned 137,760 acres in 2002 and was previously the largest fire.
