The first financial estimation of the damage caused by the Dec. 30 fire included an updated total of nearly 1,100 buildings destroyed by the fire.
The wildfire that tore through Colorado last week caused over $513 million in damage, and destroyed about 1,100 homes and other buildings, according to an updated estimate from state officials Thursday. The carnage makes it the most destructive fire in Colorado history.
Law enforcement and fire investigators are still unsure what caused the fire which led 35,000 residents to flee their homes as winds peaking at 100 MPH whipped through the state, fueling the expansion of the fire that eventually encompassed over nine square miles. In 2020, Colorado also suffered its three largest wildfires in recorded history as a prolonged drought holds its grip on the Western U.S.
