At least two people are missing after a horrific wildfire tore through Boulder County, Colorado
"We have two missing people still," Boulder Office of Emergency Management spokesperson Jennifer Churchill said Saturday. The office"will continue to investigate," Churchill said. No additional information was provided about the missing persons. The news came a day after officials said there had been no deaths as a result of blaze, which was miraculous given the Marshall Fire's speed and ferocity, they said.
"They were given immediate orders to evacuate," Denver Fire Department spokesperson Capt. Greg Pixley told CNN on Friday."People aren't prepared for that."The Delaware family was together the day of the blaze, chatting with a friend on FaceTime when their son alerted them to the fire nearby. When they went out to take a look, they could tell things were moving swiftly. Prescott Delaware, Judy's son, estimated the flames were about 600 yards away.
