The announcement is in response to previous guidance shared during a town hall on Sunday.

"This means that people with cars that were destroyed or damaged by the fires should start filing claims now with their auto insurance companies to get these cars removed, and should not wait for the debris removal program to do so," said the office of Colorado Senate Majority Leader Steve Fenberg.
