Authorities in Boulder County, Colorado, haven’t ruled out arson as a possible cause of a wildfire that destroyed hundreds of homes in the area last week.

“We have a number of tips we’re working on,” Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said. “We’ve executed a search warrant at one particular location we’re investigating.”
