Today, Colorado U.S. Senator Michael Bennet released the following statement on the Marshall Fire after taking an aerial and ground tour of affected Colorado communities:
“First, I want to thank Sheriff Pelle and all the first responders, who have done an unbelievable job evacuating our communities to safety and responding to these fires.
“I also want to thank President Biden for his swift commitment to helping Colorado respond to and recover from these fires. I am committed to doing everything I can to bring the full measure of the federal response to bear.
“In Colorado, we are not unfamiliar with natural disasters that tear through our communities and disrupt our everyday lives. In every case, we have come together to build back stronger than before, and I am absolutely certain that will be the case again.”
