Our hearts go out to the thousands who have been impacted by the recent Marshall Fire in Boulder County. Over 1,000 homes were destroyed and at least one person lost their life. The destruction from the fires in terms of property damage may be the most severe in Colorado history. Here are a few ways to help those who've been impacted:
