Steamboat Springs District
Wildfire Mitigation
Is Your Home Firewise?
Many homes in the Steamboat District are built nestled in timber, grass and brush. This can be detrimental to your home; a home like this can be destroyed by wildfire before the fire department arrives.
Use this checklist to help make your home fire safe or contact our office at CSFS_Steamboat@mail.colostate.edu for more information.
