More than 500 homes, a hotel and a shopping center have burned and tens of thousands of people have been evacuated in the area. The intensity of the fires that swept across the region as winds gusted up to 105 mph could cause more injuries and deaths, though Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle acknowledged there could be more. The first fire erupted just before 10:30 a.m. and was attacked quickly and laid down later in the day, with no structures lost.
The Boulder County emergency management office said on Thursday that all residents of Superior and Louisville were ordered to evacuate. The fires were believed to have been caused by sparks from power lines and transformers that were knocked down by high winds.
