Shifting winds change fire's course

6:22 a.m. Firefighters have the grassfire that's burned roughly 3,300 acres and evacuated 11,500 homes about 30 percent contained this morning, according to a Boulder County spokeswoman.

About 150 firefighters with multiple agencies are still working the blaze with 20 trucks, and spokeswoman Jodie Carroll said they'll re-evaluate whether displaced residents can return home at 8 a.m.

Some residents are asking firefighters if they can get back into their evacuated homes to retrieve pets, but Carroll said no one will be allowed into the closed area until officials convene to reassess the situation in the daylight.
