1:44Now PlayingTow truck drivers in Boulder County started work Friday morning to clear neighborhoods of more than 1,300 burned cars left behind after the Marshall Fire.
"That's quite a few," said Andrew Barth, spokesperson for Boulder County Public Works.
At last count, Barth said 1,381 vehicles were destroyed in the fire on Dec. 30. Some were parked in driveways or inside garages, but many were left on neighborhood streets.
The fire melted hubcaps and turned leather interiors into ash. The remnants of dozens of vehicles remained in the Sagamore neighborhood of Superior on Friday.
Crews, contracted by the county, started clearing the streets in Sagamore as part of Phase 2 of the debris removal process.
"Vehicles, trailers, trees, you know, anything that is blocking that access to those private homes, so we can get in there and start cleaning those out ASAP," Barth said.
The vehicles removed from neighborhoods will go into temporary storage at a secure facility for a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) clearing process, Barth said.
Vehicle owners and their insurance companies can request access to look at vehicles by emailing ROE@bouldercounty.org or calling 303-214-3203.
