Devastation by the East Troublesome fire
1 of 2
Destruction of homes by the East Troublesome fire can be seen in the Sun Valley area near Grand Lake on Nov. 1. At the time, the fire was contained by 37% and 193,000 acres. It started October 14 and became one of the worst fires in Colorado’s history.
Although the nearly 8 inches of snow that fell near Grand Lake was able to substantially slow down the East Troublesome fire, it can still smolder underneath the snow. Firefighters from Oregon knock down smoldering stumps on Nov. 1.
