Wildfire Mitigation
Take action to prepare your home and community for wildfire.
Wildfire is a part of nature in Colorado, so we must live wildfire ready.
It is not a matter of if but when the next destructive wildfire will occur in Colorado. Just under half of all Coloradans live in the wildland-urban interface and are at risk from wildfires.
Resources for residents
Grasses, shrubs and trees provide fuel for wildfires. If your home is located in or near natural vegetation, you live in the wildland-urban interface and are at risk from wildfires. The good news is you can make a difference to protect yourself and your family, pets, home and property.
Resources for communities
We have a shared responsibility to be ready for wildfire. Residents and leaders can make their community more resilient to wildfire by planning and working together.
