Grass will only catch if it's dry. We haven't had precipitation in months out here on the front range, on top of being a high desert region. When winds of hurricane force rip through and down power lines and compromise transformers, they spark and can catch fire. If you live in a "hurricane prone area" it's likely wet enough as is to prevent a fire like this. It's hard to imagine how dry the earth is out there if you're in naturally moist climates like the US Eastern states. (Having come from there myself).
Maybe we can all learn something from this terrible tragedy. High winds+dry vegetation can equal a catastrophe with just one small spark. We had this situation back in '11 here in Texas. There was great loss from so many wildfires. I kept an eye on the weather forecasts at all times, and I had a "to-go" box packed in the back of my SUV with supplies for us and our pets. It was a nerve-wracking time for sure. I'm so sorry for those people and pets who were caught with little to no notice. I wonder if Red-Flag Warnings were issued. Does anyone know?

Maybe, but long-distance, higher-voltage distribution lines cannot be placed underground. This probably had nothing to do with power lines after all. If it did, I would suggest that the bigger issue is that the Boulder area is notorious for ridiculously high winds, so the standards for wind-worthiness that apply everywhere else might need to raised to stricter standards around there (IMHO). But I suppose that point is now rather amiss since the cause was likely not power lines. And yeah, D.C. government has completely run amuck, but that's not what we should be discussing here.

D.E.W.s for sure, bet there was heavy spraying days before. I know first hand two people who lived in Santa Rosa- Paradise and in Santa Cruz said there was heavy spraying for two weeks before all three so called fires. Aluminum Oxide sucks the moisture out of everything. Then hit it with D.E.W.s. Masonic lodges untouched though.
Very sad but interesting. The Marshall fire wasn't that big compared to some west coast 200 sq mile fires. Though this same thing happened in Coffey Park, Santa Rosa. Nature acted like a flame thrower burning 1000 homes in a suburban subdivision and a full K-Mart, McDonald's, motels and more. (Not even counting the 3000 other homes in the woodsy areas.) FD overwhelmed almost instantly.
It may have started as a ‘wild’ grass fire, but what it became was an urban firestorm. Buildings, vehicles and man-made fuels exposing more of the same.

Every lunatic, please delete your "alternative" explanations and vamoose. The winter pattern along the Front Range very typically involves pressure systems which create the strong downhill, down-canyon winds, and as the system moves, rotation brings low temps, moisture, and hence snow. Five to seven day patterns can find the next system brings warmer dry air, another round of high winds (sometimes called Chinooks), which get even drier and warmer as they drop in altitude on the eastern side of the mountains, often melting the previous snowfall in a day or two. What is changing is the frequency of record-breaking velocities, including a gust over 100 mph in Superior around the time of the fire, which is going to drive any fire from house to house faster than any fire department can prevent.

@Messer Schmidt No bullshit, fact. I consider it bullshit that houses are constructed from wood especially in areas of high twister/tornado activity, does not make sense.
@Messer Schmidt Sure, but governments don’t like people having fortified residences either.
D.E.W.s for sure, bet there was heavy spraying days before. I know first hand two people who lived in Santa Rosa- Paradise and in Santa Cruz said there was heavy spraying for two weeks before all three so called fires. Aluminum Oxide sucks the moisture out of everything. Then hit it with D.E.W.s. Masonic lodges untouched though.
@Messer Schmidt Still stuck on the 1871 fire, bro
@Messer SchmidtBush's -- Raytheon corporation makes them and it is reported Israel has them also.
Gee could it be that they build them to burn !
So destructive because of creed. HOUSES TOOOOO CLOSE !
Trees still standing .. homes burned .. sounds fishy
Not fishy
Subhan’Allah … the wind blew the fire from the mountains to home.
Very sad but interesting.
The Marshall fire wasn't that big compared to some west coast 200 sq mile fires.
Though this same thing happened in Coffey Park, Santa Rosa. Nature acted like a flame thrower burning 1000 homes in a suburban subdivision and a full K-Mart, McDonald's, motels and more.
(Not even counting the 3000 other homes in the woodsy areas.)
FD overwhelmed almost instantly.
So terrible!!! Why are we having devastating brush fires in December people?!?!?!?!
grass. not brush. windy and dry.
ARSON ARSON ARSON
It may have started as a ‘wild’ grass fire, but what it became was an urban firestorm. Buildings, vehicles and man-made fuels exposing more of the same.
Atmospheric fuel
I saw this from an aerial view. I can't imagine how that could happen. Are there no firefighters there? Are taxes spent on decoration?
The middle of the US will slowly become uninhabitable.
They had firefighters from all over the area. It's hard to fight a fire that's being fueled by 100+ mph winds. It was pushing the fire the distance of a football field in the matter of seconds.
Could the problem be bushes, trees 8 cars burning or maybe the wooden homes w/ high grass - or Climate Change ?
The problem is overpopulation. Too much suburban sprawl.
Damn the revenge of animals we eat daily lol. The mother nature is always fair.
No trees where burnt
Garbage. I just drove around Louisville yesterday. Thousands of trees have been lost.
Reminds me of California.
So where did the local fire departments loss control of the grass fire? Were all the firefighting aircraft too far away to bring in?
Not gonna fly in that wind!
@@paulowens8972 If they can fly planes into hurricanes, there might've been a small window when winds were low enough to try. Firefighting air crews have experience dealing with unpredictable wind drafts from fires.
@@xmassan20906 Those planes fly out of the airport close by. 100+ mph gusts will certainly close the airport to all flights in and out. Worse if one of those planes has an accident, that's another fire.
@@jared7964 They have airports in other states. There may have been a window to between 11:00 and 2:00 pm.100+ was the max gust. There wasn't constant 100+ sustained winds for three solid hours while people were driving the highways or shopping at Costco.
Chucky cheese reopened ???
The bible tells us want be water but fire this time I pray we all be ready for the return of the lord
Every lunatic, please delete your "alternative" explanations and vamoose. The winter pattern along the Front Range very typically involves pressure systems which create the strong downhill, down-canyon winds, and as the system moves, rotation brings low temps, moisture, and hence snow. Five to seven day patterns can find the next system brings warmer dry air, another round of high winds (sometimes called Chinooks), which get even drier and warmer as they drop in altitude on the eastern side of the mountains, often melting the previous snowfall in a day or two. What is changing is the frequency of record-breaking velocities, including a gust over 100 mph in Superior around the time of the fire, which is going to drive any fire from house to house faster than any fire department can prevent.
Peace. With all the modern tech a grassfire wipes out towns, this does not look good.
Bad building practices!
I'll take all the goodies @ costco
Wind my ass... DEW PERIOD ..
Lord Jesus, Help
Love you Colorado, we’ll keep watching and listening for ways we can help those hurt by this awful thing.
why do Americans build houses from wood and not stone or bricks?
Jesus is the only way into Heaven turn from your worldly ways ask Him to your heart cleanse you from ALL unrighteousnsess make Him your Lord and your Savior one day YOU will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

@PKD•1870 yeah .. I didn't write or participate in it's development. Our tax $$$$$ did and are though. Still trying to figure out how a July wildfire occurred on last day of Dec. Help me out.
@PKD•1870 btw ... I keep wondering how these massive fires continue to miss major military arteries. That's just me.
@PullupSeattle 2.0 last report I saw the metal from the cars was incinerated. I wouldn't expect much from the trees.
Yeah any lunacy other than to admit Climate Change.
Again, what you say to what I see makes no sense.
Fire is native to these lands. Occupiers should leave
Man-population HARRP
Looks like it started at the coal seam. Lots of history on coal seam fires. Look it up.
That's actually an active area of investigation.

Stupid comment. Get a brain, loser. If it were Directed Energy Weapons, why weren't people and animals cooked? Why weren't radio, cell phone, and TV transmissions jammed by intense energy? Stop spreading your brand of ignorance. Dry prairie grass driven by 100 mph gusts ignited houses that ignited each other, dummy.

Biblical times are coming to true . Each city of great greed shall burn down to ashes .
The greedy developer knew that those "box crates" would have never survived the fire it's nothing but, wood, and wood, no bricks, no mortar, no nothing, just wood the beautiful trees that they have chopped down for no reason only in certain neighborhoods to build those houses (oh I'm sorry) and I use that terms very loosely, to build those (crates) is like walking on somebody's grave and these people spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on those crates, that they were living in they are in my prayers but I pray that they pray for themselves the developer got over they knew that those crates would have never ever survived a fire, in other words, they tried to play (GOD).
The hell are you on about? Unless those houses were made like a Flintstones house(no insulation, no plastic, no rubber, no wallpaper, no paint, no roof tiles, ect) they were gonna burn regardless. Are you naturally an idiot or did you have to get drunk?
My crate is all wood and it's been holding up fine for over 100 years. May not be great in a fire but I bet it'll do better in an earthquake than those bricks burying you alive under all the rubble.
@@Kobaneko2005 pay no attention to the attention seeker.
"Beautiful trees chopped down for no reason". Well last I checked, most normal people don't live in trees. They need houses. People who put more value on nature than on human life are sick. I realize we need trees to a certain degree but can we get our priorities straight?
