Marshall Fire December 2021

United States

An urban firestorm fueled by hurricane-force winds incinerated nearly 1,000 homes and structures in and around Boulder, Colorado in just one day, making it the most destructive wildfire in the state's history. Climate change, primarily caused by the extraction and combustion of fossil fuels, supercharges fires like the Marshall Fire through increased temperatures and exacerbated drought. In all, an estimated 6,000 acres were burned by the fire.
