A wildfire earlier this month in Colorado is now said to be the most expensive in the state's history, causing more than $200 million in insured losses.
According to the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association (RMIIA), nearly 170 homes were destroyed by the Fourmile Canyon Fire, located in the foothills to the northwest of Boulder, Colo.
Insurance losses of $217 million from the Fourmile Canyon Fire dwarf the previous record of $46.1 million held by the Hayman Fire in 2002.
