Is Your Property Safe? As you are probably aware,
Colorado has been
experiencing some of the
worst fires in its history.
This is largely due to severe
drought conditions. Another
culprit is poor management
of forestland, seen in overly
dense, diseased, beetle-
infested, and dying forests.

Tips for home protection:
A. Create Defensible Space and Do Regular Maintenance of Your Home.
B. Work With Your Neighbors. Create a local, neighborhood CWPP, with action to do the following:
1. Identify and open emergency access and escape routes, designed in consultation with the Fire Department.
2. Post street names and house numbers for easy emergency identification.
3. Install shaded and open-space fuelbreaks at strategic locations in and around the boundaries of your subdivision or neighborhood.
4. Create access and approved water drafts in ponds or streams for Fire Department use in fighting fires.
5. Reduce fuel under, near, and within tree-reach of utility lines, in cooperation with power company.
6. Thin dense stands of trees/ brush along sides of roads and in commonly-owned land and parks.
