- The Denver7 team brings you in-depth coverage of the Marshall Fire at 10 p.m. on Dec. 30, 2021 after it tore through Boulder County, fueled by hurricane force winds, burning at least 500 homes, according to officials.
Been here in Denver for 50 years, never saw anything like this. And it's not unusual to have all 4 seasons in 1 day here. Prayers for the families affected by this tragedy.
SPACE-BORNE DEW ATTACK ...

Hello 👋
Was not natural. It shows all signs of direct energy weapons
I live in Palmer Lake, Colorado, a few hrs SE of this area. The winds have been insane. I thought it would flip my car off the hwy and there were branches flying...I just now learned about this fire going on (I rarely watch the news). It’s so traumatic and devastating, I can’t fathom it all. I lived through a devastating flood a few years back, which happened because of the Waldo Canyon fire the year before, and lost everything. It was such a horrible experience, but here I am. They have so much they are grieving now, pets surely lost, so much destruction to process. The best help they can get, in this order....immediate needs met (shelter, food, prescriptions filled, pet food/supplies and carry crates, clean clothes, etc), a car if needed, list of agency contacts for replacing documents, apply for assistance funds, etc. Of course clothing and other things are needed also, but the best offering is compassion and kindness and care. Things can be replaced and ultimately don’t even matter much in the end, but being lifted up, helping someone carry the burden for awhile means so much to the spirit and Soul of the one who is suffering these moments. Just be there fully in heart, for anyone needing help, give in any capacity available to you, prayers are free, be the Light someone needs right now. The chaos in the world is relentless lately, and we need each other more than we realize. May the next steps for everyone impacted and traumatized by this fire lead them into healing and loving support and empathy, to help them move through their grief and pain. 🙏🏾💕💚 p. s . The pets need help too; it’s a tremendous challenge to find anyplace for them to go suddenly and they are also traumatized and need care and compassion and reassurance! Even offering for a pet to have a quiet and safe home to live for awhile can offer much, much needed relief. 💜
How far away isDenver from where the fires are?

Why did "God" let this happen in the first place? This and so many other tragedies and disasters.
@@GoGreen1977 I think people actually use God so they don’t have to feel responsible for a lot of man made disasters- even Climate change. This fire was caused by downed power lines one report said - Men made those power lines. God had nothing to do with building the electrical infrastructure.
God isn't the only one who exists there is Evil who comes to steal kill an destroy. God is above that an the most high. What evil intended for destruction God will restore. Vengeance is mine sayith the Lord I WILL repay. If the thief be caught he MUST repay. Everything the thief took here applies too. God is absolutely good and he will restore.

Hello 👋
I lived in Boulder in the mid 60's. In January the winds were really severe. They roll down Boulder Canyon reaching massive speeds. A brand new subdivision in Devil's Thumb was almost entirely destroyed. One family had sat down for dinner when their roof was blown off. An older mobile home park just a quarter mile from us had the entire west side row of homes destroyed. Homes were actually blown up on end and crashed to the ground. We had a large part of a neighbor's big chicken coop roof sticking out of our garage door. The really bizarre thing is that the roof was a bit south of our north side garage. The winds do strange things. There were five fires going in the city of Boulder during these terrible winds. But the damage wasn't near what's happened this time.
My heart breaks for those folks. The overwhelming sadness and almost painful feelings of emptiness are devastating.
Sorry for Colorade Fire from Japan,
jeez thats insane. 600+ families homeless in a single day. hoping people have friends and family they can stay with long term while they rebuild their houses. this is crazy.

People are not going to like what im about to say. I feel 2 ways about this, on one hand I feel some what bad and on the other hand this is A warning For Me to Always be kind to people who has less than I. Ive been living in Colorado in my van going on 3 years now and its been very very hard!! but the hardest thing is the people in Colorado are so cold hearted how many of these people were on their way home saw homeless people asking for THEIR HELP and You just pass them up and even make FUN of them. ALL HOMELESS PEOPLE AREN'T ON DRUGS!!!!! You Agree to law makers making it hard for Human beings to living in Van's, cars we have no place to park so that we can work rest and work and get back on our feet. You make it very very hard for the homeless you have no love for people who has less than you. People I'm WARNING YOU!! If you keep up with your Selfishness and UNGODLY ways you don't care about others you only care about having a good time and making money, GOD will BRING MORE Fires, More crazy Shootings GOD is making you UNCOMFORTABLE because you have been Heartless. Be kind to others!! If you have a home and God has blessed you with $$ help others that you see EVERY DAY on your way to and from work, store A HOME. Stop with this. I Have No Money On Me it's On MY CARD👎👎! STOP THAT!! Be kind to those who has less than you!!!! and Now you're Homeless.I don't have much but I Always try to help those who has less than I. In return God takes care of me But he gives me just enough to recognize the Reality of Heartless people. People be helpful have a Heart to the Homeless be More Helpful find a way to be helpful and God will ALWAYS look out for YOU, your HOME and YOUR FAMILY!! But you won't take HEED You'll Read this and Role your eyes and think I'm talking crazy Ok than keep with your Selfish Ways.
❤ I hear you.
Thank you for sharing your experience and truth so honestly. I think that our current worldwide situation shows just how far we've moved away from our common humanity. What a blessed opportunity to walk in another's shoes.
My prayer for you and others in your situation is that they might cross paths with their own Good Samaritans.
Wishing you a Year of Blessings and Miracles.
Well said.
I agree Brother in need. I too am homeless. I am 100% disabled, a Senior and was thrown in a gutter a month a go by a " Senior Center Facility". When asked the reason, they said "They didn't have one and didn't need one". This abuse happens always to seniors and disabled. People think they are cared for and pay no attention to them. THEY. ARE. BEING ABUSED!!!!! Social Services is involved. It's shameful. So ... Yes I hear and know your plea. Peace, health, home, food and some joy for you in the New Year. I care about YOU.

Ever seen a static event?
It's amazing how a wild fire burns homes made of wood , stucco, and brick to dust but somehow skips trees and aren't hot enough to melt plastic. Just like the forest fires in California that didn't burn forest but effectively burned homes to dust
@No Name Yes. DEW? In BC Canada also
Wet, live wood doesnt burn easily
What is also amazing is how a dead person will putrefy while a living person won't.
So true, the devil is always hiding in the details. 🤨
Old houses = Dry wood and explosives (like gas and gasoline)
Live Tree = wet wood
Most important, thin out , not remove, the forest. At least that is what we hopefully learned in Tahoe.
Wow, they had a combination of ef3 tornado wind mixed with raging wildfires, a devastating disaster.
Happened before, since 1924 records....this is the worst as far as structural damage.
Heartbreaking. SendIng prayers 🙏 from Washington state ❤️
This is a tragedy. These power companies MUST bury lines, shut off power in high winds, supply customers with generators. This enormous loss could have been prevented. My prayers go out to this community.
Germany has most of their power lines buried underground. I just read that the technology for buried power lines has been improving in recent years. The main complaint that I read from power companies is that it's "too expensive" to bury lines. However, multiply 600 (h0mes) times 350,000.00 per home (minimum) and the cost is in the multi-millions!!
I worked as an electrician and can tell you that none of your suggestions are even close to realistic. It would be a lot more sensible to manage the surrounding areas instead of letting them grow wild and call it “open space” that tall, dry grass is a tinderbox waiting to blaze
They would unfortunately have to figure out how to keep underground wildlife (like prairie dogs, fox, etc') that have burrows from damaging the underground lines; right now, it's not possible.🥺
@@ixlr825 I agree; but, there's always going to be tall grass prairie grasses. Everytime I've either lived in Colorado or visited, I've seen tons of tall trees that are around electric lines/poles (plus tons of cedar that always go up in fires quickly because of the sap that's in them); does Colorado cut the trees back away from the electric poles yearly? I'm just wondering, I know that towns here in Oklahoma cut the trees back away from railroad tracks and poles/lines once or twice a year. It doesn't save us from all the fires; but, it helps. Many farmers here are also trying to get rid of cedar trees off of their properties too, to lessen the problem in case of fires.
@@tandiparent1906 they do trim the trees back from my experience. A lot of this type of thing could be avoided via controlled burns, creating a fire line, or simply not building houses in such close proximity to each other backed up to a tinderbox. I truly feel bad for the folks that paid for the ignorance of others in this situation.
So sad 😢 Praying for Colorado. 🙏❤️✝️

ITS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE EVERY DAMN DAY
Hello 👋
Here is a quick summary: This fire is currently on an unstoppable rampage through metro Colorado. Over 700 homes destroyed with no hope of stopping it in sight. Entire cities... big cities.. have been leveled to the ground. Cant bring in any form of air support due to the 70 to 110 mph winds and extremely low visibility. Most destructive fire ever in Colorado. Luckily we have hope of snow coming tomorrow night. Hopefully, it is out by then, but no one is holding their breath. No deaths are yet reported, likely won't stay that way for long... This fire started when a wind gust upwards of 110 ripped a powerline out of the ground and it landed in the brush, igniting it. Considering we haven't had any significant moisture since summer it spread uncontrollably quick. IF YOU ARE BEING TOLD TO EVACUATE, PLEASE DO!!! A lot of deaths that happen in a fire like this are from people not evacuating. SO PLEASE DO!!!! If you have questions put them below and I will try to answer them.
@HAVE A LAUGH depends really, could stop at 700, could climb up. We are quite literally at the mercy of the wind.
@Zac's DIY Guns we will gladly take it!!
@HAVE A LAUGH We don't know but too many. A lot of populated area there.

Hello 👋
Sometimes the safest place to be is in your own home but most homes are not able to withstand very high winds and most homes are not fire resistant (fire proof is even more rare). I'm remembering the Oakland, CA fire from several decades ago. When the fire was done there stood a few homes with no fire damage because they had taken proper steps to protect their homes.
Prayers for Colorado!

Why have we not yet started putting powerlines underground??? Especially in vulnerable areas.

Because it would cost a lot of money and the costs would have to paid by the users.

Hello 👋
Building on Indian burial prairie land was the first mistake. . ...
You can not believe what a beautiful street this was. All new large homes with three car garages, huge green trees, pine trees and lawns. You can never imagine in your dreams what was lost. They had a lovely life and I wonder if they knew it when they had it. Sometimes we just take it for granted until we have nothing.
DFW has bigger houses in areas... You can never imagine the mansions here. 💁♀️

Lord be with all those who have lost their homes, pets, have medical issues and bless all Coloradans, who are strong, hearty westerners, who will rebuild better than ever, honor this tragedy, and protect all of the Fire Fighters, LEO, First Responders, and Medical Personnel--both local and from surrounding areas--who worked tirelessly and saved countless lives today.
If you use bricks , stone and slate instead of wood you could mostly remove this problem. In England we only use wood for the construction of sheds.
My previous house , built in 1759 , had stone walls , two feet thick , the roof was made of stone slabs , one inch thick , the house was virtually fireproof.
Is there a shortage of stone for wall building and clay for brick making in America ? My English friend living in America , refers to his house as being made of ticky tacky !
Do you build shopping centers, gas stations, ALL homes out of stone? Do you live on the edge of vast forests? Do you experience 100mph winds? These are densely populated subdivisions, suburbs of Denver and Boulder cities. You're being very insensitive and delusional.
Abundant forests easily used for lumber for centuries. Also, cities of wood construction spreading out and builders getting less conscience of quality. Stone more expensive. grew up in dry land part of Oregon. Grass fires several years ago changed how people are landscaping. Shrubs etc. no longer close to homes. Beautiful rocks of area used instead. The forests drying, beetles and disease killing trees making them like matchsticks. I'm sure the wild places or Colorado have the same issues. These strong winds increasing. About 10 years ago a documentary about climate change in America predicted these increasing wild fires. Sad.
@@LillianArch Call China and tell them to stop building powerplants then!
i have no words but GOD BLESS THESE PEOPLE!!!!
God is fake
Yeah probably not. Most of these people are democrats, you know the ones that sanction aborting Gods unborn children. And lately they even want to murder them after they have been born. I'm thinking God might have a wee problem with that!
@Jörgen Fredriksson You really need a couple more emojis to drive your point home!
The fire stopped just down the street from us. We have been evacuated. My heart aches for my neighbors. Now we know that 1000 homes burned, several lost animals and they do not thing it started from a downed power line anymore.😔
With all of the tornadoes and fires it will begin to make sense to build our homes underground. I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying for your safety and for your pets safety too.
There is risk everywhere... Tornadoes. Hurricanes, Tsunamis, Earthquake, Fire. Those in the foothills have all sorts of fire mitigation requirements and recommendations, but the threat rarely extends into the flatland suburbs.
Cutting power is a last resort, as people are sometimes on life supporting equipment that relies upon electricity. Xcell may be an easy target of anger, but I do not see culpability.
Becoming mole people is not in our dna. Living in a hole in fear may be safe, but it is not living.
I only lost a fence to the wind, so I consider myself lucky as hell.
Will be helping in some way. Diverting some year end funding to the cause.
It'd be cool to be a hobbit in a cozy burrow
Colorado was on my bucket list to go to. I guest that thought is out the window. Just can't go nowhere.
This is so sad... praying for everyone involved 🙏🏼
My blood pressure from just watching this. I can’t even imagine sweet Jesus.
All the predictions I kept hearing about in the 70s are coming true!
Yes ma'am those phrophies are coming true and do not let the disinformationalists Gas Light you because I just ran across one in these posts that was saying 125 mile an hour winds are common in Colorado in December, they have no clue and are shameless.
And it will take more than a handful of Godless people to validate his claim of hurricane-force winds in Colorado in December and with that kind of sustainability. PLEASE
It's tough when you lose your home, but that's replaceable. The most important now is to save lives. Everything material can be replaced, lives can not. So take care people and stay strong. Croatia is with you.
The trees hang strong, hope everyone safe.And the animals. 🙏

@@thedesertdwellerfromutah4354 no here in Colorado Springs the winds are terrible Christmas lights In my trees look like they are going to just blow away. The weather forecast isn’t saying anything about it🤷♀️ it is gusting so strong right now!! Makes me nervous about the powerlines.
@@ginaseale8590 Unbelievable! I've never seen such strong and destructive wind storms hit Colorado one after another lile they've been doing this month. Stay safe 🙏
@@thedesertdwellerfromutah4354 We live in Pueblo and the wind didn't come down here. It was just a little breezy.
@@jercasgav Mannn that's crazy how Springs and further north got hammered 🔨 by those winds and Pueblo escaped it. Love Pueblo BTW 💯
Am so sorry . Prayers for all .
All of these people lost their homes and livelihoods right before the new year; my prayers an condolences to them and I hope that they're able to rebuild.
This is really so sad and sorry 😔 for all affected by this tragic fire our prayers and love from Brampton, Ontario 🙂🙏
good thing it happened while everyone was awake
This is so tragic. Prayers to all.
My son lives in Denver but not close to Boulder luckily but my heart goes out to all those families who lost their homes, so tragic!
Dear Lord how frightening
Prayers for all people and animals
Prayers, hope and charity.
I suppose that the Electric Company will be sued since power lines started the fire. That's what happened in California.
I bet they will use that Act of God clause.
Which makes no sense to me since people want electricity.
Like the electric company can stop the wind:(
@@GoGreen1977 could've been mitigated if power lines went underground but they don't want to
Almost 80% of Excel Energy shares is held by "institutional investors", including Black Rock, JP Morgan. Hope they are insured.
PRAYERS for all of the helpless animals affected n those who parished!!! My heart is crying 🙌🙏❤
Prayers for Families, individuals, First Responders/Firefighters, Police and Safety, and everyone effected by the fire. Hope all are safe.
Anyone who would say something insensitive - forgive them. This is too extreme, too scary for many people to be empathetic through. The rest of us, we can contribute to help - Red Cross, Salvation Army there are a lot of relief groups and certainly people will not be seeing insurance compensation immediately. Stay constructive, point forward, one day at a time. Be the neighbour you'd want to see if you went through this.
Amen, David!
Thank you for your truth and kindness. Much needed right now
