FILE - The East Troublesome fire, just a few miles from Granby, in the early hours of Thursday, Oct. 22, 2020. About a week after the initial spark, winds combined with historically dry conditions allowed the wildfire to rapidly blow up to more than 190,000 acres.

Flood water runs down a street with a lot of debris in it. There are trees on the left side and a lot of wood.
