December marked the third anniversary of the Marshall Fire that impacted thousands across the Front Range. Now towns like Superior are still working to rebuild, as some are able to move back home.
Jay Carroll and Brie Rogers are grateful to be back in their Superior home. The pair were some of the first people to return to the old town neighborhood– still rebuilding after close to 200 homes were lost.
“Feeling lucky that we’re in this position to be able to rebuild, a lot of our neighbors, unfortunately, were not in the same position. So we think about that often,” Rogers said.
But when a neighbor does return, they can bring a sense of normalcy with them. Rogers added, “Our neighbor Diane, in this yellow house right here. It’s great to have her back. So it’s definitely nice to, you know, see some familiar faces.”
Neighbor reunions are something Superior Mayor Mark Lacis wants to keep seeing more of, with the town now 70% rebuilt.
