On Saturday, a Boulder District Court judge denied a motion filed by Xcel Energy to dismiss a lawsuit alleging the company 'substantially caused or contributed to the cause' of the Marshall Fire
DENVER — An official cause of the Marshall Fire, Colorado’s most destructive wildfire, is still not known nearly a year after it started. However, some believe power lines maintained by Xcel Energy are to blame and filed a class action lawsuit against the utility company in March.
The lawsuit alleges that sparks from an Xcel power line near Marshall Road started a ground fire in the Eldorado Springs-Marshall Mesa neighborhood on the morning of Dec. 30, 2021. Several theories as to the exact cause of the fire have circulated in the past year, but nothing official has been released. Downed power lines have not been ruled out, but Xcel Energy crews did not find any power lines in the area, according to Boulder County officials.
