Story 2 WALDO CANYON FIRE. #WALDOCANYONFIRE

The Denver Post tracked the Waldo Canyon fire from the start, but when the blaze became extraordinary on the hottest day in 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.
