After a tragic day in Monte Vista that saw several homes destroyed by a fast moving fire, Monte Vista, Rio Grande County and Colorado State officials held a press conference to give as many details as they had on the fire. The headline was nobody was injured, nobody reported missing and there was no loss of life.
The bad news was several displaced residents were angered that they couldn’t return to their homes. In at least one case, one woman had no idea whether or not she had a home to return to.
Below is unedited audio from tonight’s press conference held in the Ski Hi Event Center.
