There is no statute for "Attempted Manslaughter" as you have asked.
Actually, Colorado does have an attempted manslaughter crime. Pretty much every crime in the Colorado criminal code has a an attempted version of that offense as a result of Colo. Rev. Stat. § 18-2-101, which defines the crime of attempt and tells you that an attempt to commit a crime is generally one grade lower in offense than if the crime was completed. For example, if the completed offense would be a class 2 felony then an attempt to commit that offense would be a class 3 felony.

My question involves criminal law for the state of: Colorado

My family and I lost our house to a wild fire that a man caused, he claims to be using the "beading" method with a lit stick on a fire ban due to the dry spell that we had this year, along with a weather warning of high winds in the area my family and I were the last to leave after making sure our tenants were out of the house. The fire department nor the police department never came down to make sure everyone was out before our house was engolf with fames.
You may sue the guy who caused the fire to recoup the damage suffered to your property in the fire. The claim would be a civil tort claim. See a Colorado civil litigation attorney about that. Note that if you were fully reimbursed your losses through insurance it won’t benefit you to sue since your insurance company would simply take the winnings to repay what the insurance company paid you.
