If you discover damage to your property and you were not officially notified, please email the Larimer County Office of Emergency Management at oem@larimer.org with your name, address, and current telephone number.
From Sheriff Justin Smith:
As the community comes together to support those who suffered property loss, we stand with them. We feel the pain of being displaced and not having a home to go back to. In the midst of this hurt, I am so proud of the deputies, firefighters, and a variety of other officers from many law enforcement agencies who heroically evacuated thousands and thousands of people and made sure that no one felt the pain of losing a loved one to this fire. It was an amazing effort, and I am thankful.
