Joe Biden arrives in Colorado with wife Jill Biden
Joe Biden in Colorado: US President Joe Biden consoled the people of the state of Colorado by embracing and joking with them, who are suffering the worst wildfire damage ever caused (colorado fire). Denver and Boulder, the densely populated suburbs of Colorado, have been severely damaged by wildfires. Biden and his wife Jill arrived at Harper Lake, a neighborhood in Louisville, on Friday afternoon to assess the damage.
They walked down a street where houses had burned down and met local residents and local officials who are engaged in relief and rescue operations (Colorado Fire Update). Before returning to the White House, Biden described the devastation as ‘horrible’. The fire broke out in December after several months of drought conditions. About 1,100 buildings were damaged in the fire, which is estimated to cause $513 million in damage. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
Air Force One arrived in Colorado
Those who traveled with the president to Colorado in Air Force One included two state senators, two members of Congress from the affected area, and Dean Criswell, administrator of FEMA, whose agency is providing federal aid. After surveying the scene in Colorado, Biden and the First Lady headed to Las Vegas, where they will attend the funeral of former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Jill Joe Biden in Colorado) on Saturday. Reid died last week at the age of 82 after fighting a year-long battle with cancer. He and Biden had worked together in the Senate.
The cause of the fire is not known
Investigators are also trying to figure out what caused the fire that caused thousands of people to be displaced (Fire in Colorado). Experts say that such incidents of fire can happen more, because due to climate change, the temperature of the earth has increased and the number of areas vulnerable to fire has increased (US Wildfire). More than 90 percent of Boulder County has experienced severe drought and no rain since mid-summer.
