Driven by Extreme winds. We survived (barely) the worst urban wild fire in Colorado history 1 year ago. 1100 homes burned in a matter of hours in a 10 x 10 mi square. Maybe 5% have been built back. It Will take years before things approach semi normal again.
$500M In damage (and still growing). Extreme winds will do that. Gusts to 115mph. All u need is one dumbass throwing a cigarette onto some dry grass. Firefighters were helpless.
Here’s the link for more. Many here have ptsd when the high winds kick up. Understandable!

Update: The total damage for the Colorado Marshall Fire is now over TWO BILLION dollars. That $500M wiki page estimate is out of date. It’s also the 10th costliest 🔥 in US history.
