U.S. Congressman Joe Neguse met with local leaders and other victims of the Marshall Fire Monday. Victims say the insurance process has been a struggle, the rebuild is on hold due to a lawsuit and they want the federal government to come through on promises they have made.
‘It Just Feels Every Step Of The Way Is A Challenge’: Victims Of Marshall Fire Tell Congressman They Need Help– A status check two-and-a-half months after more than a thousand structures burned in the Marshall Fire shows no homes are being rebuilt, public debris clearing has not yet begun, and a congressman saying they are trying to help.
Josh Engel who lost his home told Neguse it’s a grinding process, “and then you get questions. Did you really have that many bicycles? Did you have we got asked did you have six barstools?”“It just feels every step of the way is a challenge,” they said.Neguse said he and Colorado’s U.S. Senators have written a letter to try to get the federal government end of the clean-up moving.
Two of those at the roundtable discussion with the congressman were Boulder Sheriff and County Commissioners. Both are law enforcement officers who lost their homes. “Until you’ve lived it you have no idea what it’s like to lose everything you’ve built,” said Johnson.
