Colorado suffered the worst fire season in Colorado history with the three largest recorded wildfires we have ever had. Hundreds of homes were destroyed and evacuated, and Coloradans endured more than 100 days of fire. The Cameron Peak fire burned more than 208,000 acres and more than 460 structures, to the tune of $6 million in property losses. The east troublesome fire on the border of my district killed two people. Coloradans also suffered severe health issues resulting from significant smoke from these fires. (24:29–24:41)
