UPDATE: Per Sheriff Joe Pelle, #MarshallFire up to 1,600 acres. Estimate is 580 homes lost or damaged. One officer injured.
Of those 580, Pelle said 370 homes in east Superior, 210 in the Olde Town area. Target complex and Element Hotel also burned. #MarshallFire
Pelle said no missing people or deaths reported at this time, but given speed and scope of fire, "It wouldn't surprise us if we did find a casualty." #MarshallFire
Pelle said bottom line, they won't be able to stop #MarshallFire until the winds die down, main focus now is getting people out.
"This is the kind of fire you can't fight off."
Polis: "This fire is not so much a question of resources... This fire is frankly a force of nature."

A drop in wind speeds but also a drop in temperatures, with many still without power in #Boulder County. Expected to get down to single digits overnight #cowx ImageImage
Snow has also really started to pick up in the last few minutes here in #Boulder Image
Still thousands without power in #Boulder, per Xcel outage map. Looks like they are making some progress and seeing some crews out on the map, but no ETA on restoration. Have not been able to reach Xcel media folks yet today ImageImage

UPDATE: #Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said no casualties reported yet. 2,000 homes in the burn area, but that does not mean all 2,000 were damaged or lost #MarshallFire
Pelle said winds died down last night and they were able to make some progress on #MarshallFire. Warned people to still stay away, still active fires, downed lines and other hazards.
"We saw a lot of risk we're still trying to mitigate."
Pelle said only one person was reported missing last night, but they were located. Given speed of fire and the number of homes destroyed, he said fact that no deaths have been reported yet is "pretty miraculous." #MarshallFire
