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."
"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
Pelle said cause of #MarshallFire hasn't been confirmed, but investigators have confirmed that there were downed power lines at the origin point
Pelle said better idea of how many homes were lost will be coming in the next day or so. But based on what he saw on flyover, said he would not be surprised if number was around 1,000 #MarshallFire
Pelle said #MarshallFire zone is 6,000 acres. It is technically zero percent contained, but they don't anticipate the perimeter to grow, the challenge is saving homes within the burn area
