Wildfire Preparedness
Wildfire is a natural part of Colorado's landscape, but it can pose serious risks to people, homes, and the community. Taking simple steps ahead of time can significantly reduce risk and improve safety.
What you can do:
- Create defensible space around your home (clear vegetation and debris)
- Use fire-resistant materials when building or remodeling
- Make an evacuation plan and sign up for emergency alerts
- Prepare a go-bag with essentials and important documents
These actions can help protect your property and improve firefighter safety during emergencies.
