Xcel Energy said Monday that electric restoration was nearly complete, and natural gas completion was expected to be nearly finished on Tuesday.
Search continues for 2
Pelle said in a news conference Monday the investigation into what sparked the fire remains ongoing. Two people are still reported missing as of Monday.
One missing man was found “alive and well,” Pelle said Sunday. The search continues for a Superior woman and a man from near Marshall still missing from the Marshall Fire.
The fire that sparked Thursday burned more than 6,200 acres and destroyed nearly 1,000 structures across Superior, Louisville and unincorporated Boulder County.
Officials said Sunday the fire was 74% contained after a snowstorm dropped a few inches on the fire and crews worked hot spots to keep it controlled.

Initially, the fire was thought to be started by downed power lines but Xcel said there were no lines down around the point of ignition. Pelle said a search warrant was executed following a tip from the community but did not provide details on the search.
