A new documentary, “Scarred: Lessons from the Cameron Peak Fire,” is set to begin Friday.

The five-part series will air at 10 p.m. on CBS4 and streaming online at https://cbsloc.al/3lMO71t.

While the immediate damage was evident, the fire’s effects on the Cache la Poudre watershed are yet to be determined, but it is clear that forest and community recovery will likely take many years.

The 30-minute programs will explore the history of the fire, as well as the future effect it will have on the communities and environment.

“Over the course of three months, reporter Dillon Thomas and the CBS4 team traveled Northern Colorado – using field cameras, GoPros, a drone, and Copter4 to document the extensive impact and tell the stories of resiliency in the wake of the historic Cameron Peak fire,” CBS4 General Manager Tim Wieland said. “’Scarred: Lessons from the Cameron Peak Fire’ not only shows how the fire has left northern Colorado scarred, but also highlights how the community is uniting to preserve and protect the land they love for the future. It’s an important story to tell and an important story for Coloradans to watch.”

The Cameron Peak Fire began on Aug. 13, 2020, around 40 miles west of Fort Collins. Over the course of several months, the fire burned more than 200,000 acres of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests in Larimer County.

The fire destroyed nearly 500 structures, including 224 houses, and closed trail systems and other recreation areas.

For three months, the Cameron Peak Fire created toxic air quality along the Front Range from Greeley to Denver.

“I’ve spent months interviewing community members, business owners, and environmental and wildlife experts who are working creatively to navigate the impacts of the fire,” CBS4 reporter Dillon Thomas said. “It’s safe to say I’ve driven hundreds of miles, and hiked many as well with gear … gaining access to areas of the burn scar still closed off to the public, and areas still left desolated.”
