“In a few places there’s still smoldering debris and smoke partially covered by snow,” Gov. Jared Polis said. “It’s really an odd and disturbing juxtaposition.”
The remains of a home destroyed by wildfires is draped by nearly a foot of snow in Superior, Colorado, on Saturday.
But in surreal scenes that reflected the wild environmental conditions, eight inches of snow began falling in the area on Friday, ultimately helping to extinguish the blazes. There had been no fatalities reported in the immediate aftermath of the fires, but officials now say at least two people whose homes were destroyed are missing. A third person who had been missing on Saturday has since been accounted for.Officials were set to use cadaver dogs to try to locate the individuals’ bodies, but the conditions were still extremely dangerous for recovery workers.
Investigators have not found any credible evidence of any such downed lines. Instead, they have mounted what Pelle described as a “very active investigation” into other possible causes.
