Louisville is starting to look different . As the road to recovery from the Marshall Fire continues , the landscape is slowly transforming from ruin to rebirth .
   Throughout the City , debris is being removed from fire - affected areas by the coordinated Private Property Debris Removal ( PPDR ) program and private contractors hired by property owners .  
   As of June 21 , 2022 , 12 PPDR removal crews are in Louisville working six days a week on 129 active parcels . Crews are removing ash/debris , concrete , metal , and trees for property owners who opted into the PPDR program . Information about quantities and types of debris that have been removed and recycled through PPDR can be found on the
   Boulder County website
    .
   Once a lot is cleared , the final steps in the debris removal process are soil sampling and testing , installing erosion control , and a final inspection before the property is considered complete and officially approved for rebuilding .  
   Over the past 5 - 1/2 months , a lot of progress has been made on the 550 homes and businesses lost in the Marshall Fire , including: 
   
   505 debris removal permits issued ( private and PPDR program )
   
   142 lots cleared ( private and PPDR program )
   
   4 rebuilding permits issued
   
   Construction crews broke ground on the first home to be rebuilt on June 6 , 2022
   Progress can be tracked online on the
   Recovery Dashboard
    .
   As we move forward , it is important to remember the road to recovery and rebuilding is long and complex . Every property owner is navigating a different stage of this process , and the timeline looks different for each individual . The City will continue to support each resident though the journey from debris to cleared lots to new construction and finally moving home .
