CBS News Colorado hosts Community Conversation about the Marshall Fire
CBS News Colorado hosts a Community Conversation about the Marshall Fire this month. Nearly 15 months after the most devastating wildfire in Colorado history, elected representatives gathered for a conversation about where we are now, what we did wrong and what's ahead.
"If the Marshall Fire showed us nothing else, it's that wildfires can happen anywhere. Our hope is that you won't have to endure what we have, that the issues we face will be addressed before the next tragedy," said Shaun Boyd, CBS News Colorado reporter and Marshall Fire victim.
The Community Conversation was held March 17th at 3 p.m. at the Superior Community Center. Gov. Jared Polis, Rep. Joe Neguse, who represents Colorado's 2nd Congressional District, and insurance Commissioner Michael Conway joined Boulder County Commissioner Ashley Stolzmann, Treasurer Paul Weissmann, state Sen. Lisa Cutter and state Rep.s Judy Amabile and Kyle Brown for the discussion. Also in attendance was Town of Superior Mayor Mark Lacis, Mayor Pro-Tem Neal Shah, Trustees Jenn Kaaoush, Sandy Hammerly, Bob McCool, Stephanie Miller, and Jason Serbu, and City of Louisville Mayor Dennis Maloney, Mayor Pro-Tem Deb Fahey, and Council Member Chris Leh.
The hour-long Community Conversation will air on CBS News Colorado's 24-hour streaming network on Thursday at 7 p.m. You can also watch it in its entirety in the videos below.
