(FOX NEWS) – A Colorado sheriff who is helping assess damage caused by a wildfire that spread rapidly across an area just outside Denver said Friday he would “not be surprised” if up to 1,000 homes were lost.
Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle made the remark while announcing there were no reports of fatalities or casualties, adding that the one person missing after the Marshall Fire tore through the communities of Louisville and Superior on Thursday has been accounted for and is well.
“I would estimate it is going to be at least 500 homes, I would not be surprised if it’s 1,000,” Pelle told a reporter Friday when asked about the extent of the damage.
