Monte Vista resident: This is our home. It’s leveled now.

Chandra Campos had just returned from a visit to the doctor. She was home from work, lying on her bed, when she heard cars honking. And honking. And honking.

"They weren't honking in my driveway, I didn't think anything about it, and then walked outside and this field right here was on fire," Campos said, gesturing to the field, adjacent to what was her backyard. "All I could see was a wall of fire rushing at me."

She had minutes. No time to get belongings or keepsakes -- not even her purse.

It was only enough to let her dogs loose, and get herself outside.

Campos, her husband, and three children -- ages 8, 12, and 14 -- are now living with her mother in Monte Vista. Every single item in their house, is ash: her washer and dryer, stove and sink, the very bed on which she was resting.

Five other families are now without a home, too, in Monte Vista. Wednesday, intense winds pushed the fire as it bounded from house to house. Investigators, including those from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, have yet to determine how the fire sparked, or exactly how many structures were lost.

Monte Vista and Rio Grande County leaders are currently working to declare it a disaster area, which will free up state and federal relief funds.

If you are interested in financially helping the Campos family, a verified GoFundMe site has been set up for them.
