Thousands of acres are scorched and more than 150 firefighters were dispatched to Saturday's massive wildland fire.

Fire officials say they still don't know what sparked Saturday's horrific wildland fire.

The fire broke out in South East El Paso County and stretched across more than 13 miles.

Fire officials say four structures burned down, only one of them was a home.

The family who lived in the home said they were in California visiting a sick friend at the time of the fire.

Sunday afternoon was the first time the family laid eyes on the devastation.

Ray Doudna, the man who owned the house spent Sunday sifting through what is left.

"It's actually so hot you can't stand in there for more than a couple of minutes," said Doudna.

Doudna says nothing at all is salvageable.

Doudna's daughter, Erica, was at the house when fire officials told her to get out. She was able to get home video of her parents home going up in flames.

Between raging flames and relentless winds, the Doudna home, perhaps, didn't stand a chance of survival. "My daughter said she saw the fire jump the road again back over here and come down toward the house," said Doudna.

However, Ray Doudna says he wish he were home. He says, maybe, he could have done something before flames devoured years of family memories which are now, nothing but ashes.

"You can still see some of the spots flaring up every once in a while," said Doudna.

The Ellicott Fire Department says their work is not done. "We're going to be here probably throughout Sunday night, again making sure the rest of the hot spots are out," said Michael Henley, Captain of the Ellicott Fire Department.

Henley says they want to make sure a flare up isn't able to destroy any other homes.

The Doudna family has homeowners insurance. They also say, they are grateful for everyone who has come forward to help them.

Also, the family's pets were still inside the home when the fire hit. They lost three dogs and two cats.
