maxchoboian Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 100 MPH winds blew down a power line that sparked a fire, which burned entire neigborhoods between Denver and Boulder. Embers blew for miles and sparked multiple fires that destroyed subdivisions. We see these as wildfires in the mountains, but have never seen such destruction in the suburbs. Estimates are 1,000 homes lost. Unbelievable. 6" of snow expected today to smother what hot spots remain. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Marshall Fire quickly became the most destructive wildfire in Colorado history, in terms of homes destroyed. According to Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle, at least 500 homes have been confirmed destroyed in the town of Superior. That number does not include the communities that burned east and west of Superior, or the homes damaged in parts of Broomfield or Louisville. Gov. Polis and other officials did a flyover of the burn scar Friday morning. He estimated as many as 1,000 homes may be destroyed. Sheriff Pelle said “he wouldn’t be surprised” if the destruction totaled beyond that count. Two thousand homes were in the burn scar area, which spanned 6,000 acres. Firefighters do not expect the fire to grow, as snow moves into the area. The main focus for crews will be putting out hotspots, as the Marshall Fire still smokes and smolders in suburban neighborhoods.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
