'Very grave': Colorado mayor speaks out after devastating wildfires
ABC News
The mayor of Superior, Colorado spoke out after fires ripped through Boulder County.
The mayor of a Colorado town decimated by sudden and fast-moving wildfires called the situation "very grave" in an interview with "Good Morning America."
Hundreds of homes were destroyed and thousands were forced to evacuate in Boulder County on Thursday when wind-fueled grass fires exploded into infernos.
"I spent a couple of hours yesterday driving around in the afternoon with the sheriff’s office and town manager just making an assessment of the situation there on the ground and it’s grave," Clint Folsom, the mayor of Superior, told "GMA." "It’s nothing like I would have ever imagined would have happened."
Folsom said he was fearful of what emergency responders might find in the coming days after hundreds of homes burned "in a matter of minutes."
