The fire in Sunshine Canyon, just outside the university town, started before dawn on Sunday, with no injuries or damage to structures reported, said Commander Mike Wagner, a spokesman for the Boulder County Sheriff's Office. Authorities ordered the evacuation of 426 homes, with about 800 others on notice to be evacuated if winds shift, Wagner told reporters.
