  Colorado investigators are looking into a property owned by a Christian fundamentalist cult known as 'Twelve Tribes' as the source of the massive wildfire that destroyed nearly 1,000 homes in the suburbs around Boulder last week.

  Authorities were tipped off to the location through a viral video depicting a shed set ablaze on the organization's 4.3 acre compound that was taken by a passerby on the morning the unprecedented Marshall Fire ravaged 6,219 acres.  

  One member of the group who insisted on anonymity told DailyMail.com: 'We don't really have any comment right now. We are waiting for the investigation to be completed.
