LOUISVILLE, Colo. (AP) — President Joe Biden has visited Colorado to comfort residents grappling with rebuilding homes and businesses destroyed last week by a rare winter fire. The blaze burned through a pair of heavily populated suburbs between Denver and Boulder. The president met local officials who have been overseeing the fire aftermath, as well as residents whose homes were turned to rubble. Biden praised the courage of the people made homeless by the fire and pledged the full support of the federal government to help rebuild.
