After the Fire traveled with a delegation from Sonoma County to Boulder County, Colorado for the second time. After our February trip (6 weeks after the Marshall Fire), ATF USA returned in May, about 5 months after the Marshall Fire that ripped through suburban areas driven by 100 MPH winds in late December 2021. It was the most destructive wildfire in Colorado history and destroyed over 1000 homes and businesses, in the unincorporated areas of Boulder County and the towns of Superior and Louisville. This video provides a glimpse of our visit, which we made to listen, form relationships with local leaders, and share support and practical information.
The local fire survivors and the larger communities are already building hope and community for the recovery. The groups Marshall Together (https://marshalltogether.com) and Superior Rising (https://www.superiorrising.org) helped us tour the area and meet folks during the Thursday tour.
