At 1:21 is an image captured from a video taken. This home was mine, and I was wondering if there was anyway if I can get that footage.
Thank you for all the hard work fire fighters. Without you, so much more would have been lost

I'm so sorry for all of the loss that folks have endured. My heart goes out to them.
I am also very grateful that old Gold Hill was spared especially the museum. My Great-great-grandfather was Sheriff in Gold Hill in 1860 to 1862, It's history is very some of the best preserved in Boulder County. The Jain Brothers, Members of my Altona Grange, saved many in Gold Hill in 1894. Thank you all who fought the fire and helped those who live the mountain way.
