San Isabel Resident Faces Cleanup Challenges After Aspen Acres Fire
Wayne Hill, a resident of San Isabel, Colorado, is dealing with extensive property damage caused by heavy rain and runoff following the Aspen Acres Fire. After evacuating for three weeks, Hill returned to find his home impacted by three feet of mud, which damaged retaining walls and washed out parts of his garage. The debris includes dirt, cabinets, and personal belongings, and cleanup costs are estimated at $22,000 to $23,000. Hill, who relies on Social Security and disability income, did not have flood or fire insurance, making the financial burden significant. He is seeking assistance from local carpenters and laborers to help with the cleanup process. (Source: KOAA, Source time: Fri, 14 Aug 2026 04:26:09 GMT)
