In the clip shared on Monday, Ansari wrote: "I found these original marble floors under the carpet in an abandoned bank from 1908."

Boulder County's commissioners on Thursday hired DRC Emergency Services to clean up the ruins of the hundreds of homes destroyed in the Marshall fire, but they didn't reveal how much the months-long project could cost. The board voted 3-0 to hire DRC, which was one of 11 companies that bid on Boulder County's wildfire cleanup contract, during a meeting that lasted less than 15 minutes. Debris removal on private properties is expected to begin March 1 and should be completed by July 1. Late Wednesday, the Federal Emergency Management Agency notified Boulder County that it would cover much of the cleanup costs, according to a Boulder County news release. Colorado's two senators and U.S. Rep. Joe Neguse, D-Lafayette, had requested 100% reimbursement, but the county's news release did not say how much FEMA had agreed to pay. Typically, FEMA reimburses a county 75% of the costs while state and local governments pick up the remaining 25% of a disaster cleanup bill. ...

"We subsequently realized how precious a resource the beach is, not only just for access, but as a community asset. For more than 20 years we've brought in a total of 15,000 to 20,000 tons of sand to build the beach bac...
