It was nearly a thousand homes lost, actually. In such a short amount of time. 115 mph wind gusts driving it. Absolutely crazy.

I applaud officials searching for a cause. Not to cast blame. Instead to see if the cause could be prevented in the future.

If there was an announced fire ban and someone violated it, the gloves come off.

From what I heard and read, it was a "red flag day".

So now investigate to see if their fire was accidental or deliberate.

Those are quite common here in the winter. Any day with wind is a red flag day.
Yep. But once this goes into Court, if it does, whether someone is legally responsible for starting an illegal fire or not will become very clouded.

I'm very curious to see where this leads.

High wind days are always fire ban days in CO. My inlaws place was 3 miles away, they could see it burning. Not good, but its a risk we all take..just like those in tornado or hurricane areas.

Sorry for their loss....

If it is officially/legally determined that it was a fire ban day, and a fire was deliberately started, there's justification for prosecution.

If it is determined that at the time the fire started a fire ban had not been declared, prosecution will become extremely difficult.

It it is determined the fire was accidentally started, it's a mute point.

That's why a thorough investigation needs to take place.

All the families that lost their homes and lost their businesses, and the insurance carriers are gonna be pointing fingers. Someone is at fault, even if it was a "mistake". When the losses are in the Billions, lawsuits will be coming.

I thought it was already determined a tree fell in the high winds on a power line.
