Colorado Wildfires Burn 30 Buildings As State Ramps Up Investigation Into Origins

Colorado deployed its ramped-up wildfire investigations team Thursday as authorities confirmed the four fires that burned along the Front Range this week destroyed or damaged at least 30 buildings. It’s the first time the state’s new team of 10 fire investigators and four trained dogs has been activated at such a large scale since state lawmakers funded the unit in 2023, said Todd Hedglin, fire investigations chief for the state. “I’ve got investigators peppered around the state,” Hedglin said.
