YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAn elementary school in the Eaton School District is closed Monday "due to a containment issue at a nearby oil and gas facility," according to the district's website. The website says Galeton Elementary will be closed Monday.
Galeton is about 14 miles northeast of Greeley in Weld County.
At about 5:50 p.m. on Sunday, the Galeton Fire Protection District was notified of an incident at an oil and gas facility south of Weld County Road 74, according to a Facebook post by Galeton Fire.
Weld County 911 sent out an emergency alert to an area south of Galeton Sunday night. The alert said "units are working an incident" in the area of Weld County Road 51 and Weld County Road 72. The alert encouraged people within a half mile of that intersection to "evacuate to a safe location."
Road closures go beyond the evacuation zone to allow for law enforcement and response crews to access the area, according to Galeton Fire. Residents may access areas not in the evacuation zone as local traffic.
Residents are asked to refrain from ditch burning until further notice, the fire protection district said.
