WALDO CANYON FIRE. #WALDOCANYONFIREThe Denver Post tracked the Waldo Canyon fire from the start, but when the

blaze became extraordinary on the hottest day in Colorado Springs history, the

reporting and photography kicked into high gear. Reporters began live-tweeting

the frantic evacuation of residents from street corners as panic collided with the

evening rush hour. The coverage began with a tweet at 3:59 p.m. Tuesday and

developed into a comprehensive, but quick moving and sustained report that

updated people as many as 30 times per day and pushed concrete real-time infor-

mation to anxious citizens – some who were watching the calamity unfold from

military deployment overseas – until the fire was officially contained on July 10.
