This one is at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and it's spreading like mad. It's a gusty day,
unfortunately.

My brother lives about a mile NNE of NCAR. Near as I can tell the evacuation area is a couple of blocks south of him.

Although wind direction can change. Hope your bro stays safe.
I'm 11 miles east and feel safe. I can see the smoke but still can't smell it.
