Colorado fires: Two remain missing as survivors inspect damage

Al Jazeera  

Authorities say they are still investigating the cause of the blaze, which destroyed nearly 1,000 homes in US state. Two people remain missing after an enormous fire destroyed nearly 1,000 homes in the US state of Colorado, where authorities continue to investigate the source of the blaze and distraught survivors return to inspect the damage. “The real pain is going to sink in over time.” Hickman said he and his family have to find a rental home and clothes in the short term; their insurance company told them on Sunday that it would take at least two years to rebuild the home. “Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses and other programs to help individuals and business owners recover from the effects of the disaster,” the Federal Emergency Management Agency said in a statement. The White House had said on Friday that Biden held a phone call with Colorado Governor Jared Polis and pledged that “every effort will be made to provide immediate help to people in the impacted communities”.
