The data compiled here by 9NEWS (KUSA) about the Marshall Fire is impressive.
"The Marshall Fire wasn’t just the most destructive wildfire the state had ever seen. As thousands fled the windswept fire and embers, it quickly became Colorado’s most documented natural disaster as well.
Cell phones, body cameras and security cameras recorded the unprecedented evacuation in a dizzyingly chaotic display of improvisation and panic.
The 9NEWS ORIGINALS team spent months geolocating and timestamping hundreds of these videos to help the public better understand the precise path of its destruction."

Two years ago today, the Marshall Fire changed many assumptions we had about wildfires. It was a wake up call for legislators and residents alike to better prepare for disasters even in places that were once thought immune. We know that we are at high risk in our beautiful mountains, so on this somber anniversary we ask that you use these cold winter months to keep working to reduce your wildfire risk of your home and surrounding land. For those who lost their homes, and are just now moving back in, our hearts go out to you as we honor your strength and endurance. #ColoradoStrong
