tore through Boulder County in December, it was an all-hands-on-deck response. Video shows firefighters rushing toward the destructive flames, and police officers and deputies hurrying to secure the area.“This is the third fire I’ve responded to,” said Sam Peterson, a district wildlife manager with Colorado Parks and Wildlife. “It was a lot of chaos.”
“It’s so difficult to find exactly what somebody needs, but I think it’s just being there and being able to offer whatever you can, and for us, it was an elk carcass,” he said with a laugh. “I got a call from Officer Peterson, and at first I thought I was in trouble,” Mathews told CBS4. “I was flabbergasted. It was unexpected, very appreciated and a huge silver lining.”
“I was saving all the best cuts for a special occasion, and it’s a waste,” he explained, showing CBS4 his leveled home and destroyed freezers that stored his elk and beef from Colorado ranchers. “That’s my advice to everyone. If you have something nice that you’re cherishing, enjoy it. Don’t wait because you never know what’s going to happen.”
