Many people have been stopping by the store to pick up gently-used clothing. People started making donations after seeing the need when so many people lost their homes in the fire. A total of 991 homes burned last week in Boulder County.

Despite the recent snowfall on the ground hot spots can smolder for days or even weeks which can potentially reignite fires. Firefighters also worry about surrounding structures burning if these hot spots flare up. Officials have said that 991 homes were destroyed in the Marshall fire. The fast moving fire was stocked by extremely dry drought conditions and fierce winds, with gusts topping 100 mph, along the foothills. (Photo by Helen H.

"We've noticed people coming in are coming in the clothes they evacuated in, and they need an outfit or two," said boutique owner Tracy Hobbs.

The boutique has also been collecting and distributing gift cards to help families who need to replace everything they own.
