BOULDER COUNTY, Colo. (KRDO) -- UPDATE: One missing person has been found safe. Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said Saturday that three people were missing, but said Sunday that one of them, a man, has been found alive and well. 

The Boulder County Sheriff's Office confirmed during a press conference Saturday three people are reported missing following the Marshall Fire that destroyed hundreds of homes in Boulder County. Officials say the homes of the missing individuals are destroyed and now cadaver dogs and search teams are being brought in.

During that press conference, officials say search and recovery efforts are hampered significantly because those areas are still extremely hot. The search teams will be brought in Sunday.

Additionally, the Sheriff's Office says the current total of homes destroyed is 991.

While the three people were not identified, a family member of one of the missing people spoke to our news partners at 9News.

Hutch Armstrong told 9News his family reported Nadine Turnbull missing after his cousin wasn't able to get her out of their home in Old Town Superior during the fire Thursday.

When his cousin tried entering the house with a neighbor, Armstrong says they were met with flames. When his cousin went back, he says firefighters pulled her away.

As of now, no deaths have been officially reported. In a press conference Friday, Boulder County Sheriff Joe Pelle said he was surprised there aren't dozens of people missing, considering how fast the fire moved.

This is a developing story.
