</ref> Overall, 600 structures were burned in the fire including 133 homes, 1 commercial building and 466 outbuildings. While the fire burned, record amounts of particulate matter were measured in the air.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.planning.org/research/postdisaster/casestudies/haymanfire.htm|title=Case Study: Hayman Fire, Hayman, Colorado|website=American Planning Association|access-date=2018-12-09}}</ref>

As a result of the fire, flooding in the burn area increased. Consequently, many roads and bridges in the area were washed out. This included [[Colorado State Highway 67|State Highway 67]], the main highway that runs through the area. Other indirect destruction included sediment runoff into a reservoir that is used as a water source for [[Denver]]. The removal of this sediment cost $25 million.<ref name=":0" />

Most of the burn area is inside of the [[Pike National Forest]]. The fire caused the closure of a large part of the national forest land as well as nearby [[Eleven Mile State Park]] and [[Spinney State Park]]. Tourism saw a sharp decline in the area and it is estimated that local businesses lost 50% of their seasonal revenues as a result of the fire-induced closures.<ref name=":0" />
