Wildfires are a major concern in the mountain areas throughout Colorado.
According to a recent study, the Colorado State Forest Service ranked Larimer County as the most hazardous county in the state with respect to wildfire. As more forested lands are developed and recreational uses increase, the potential for loss of life and property caused by wildland fire is an ever increasing problem. Protecting your home from wildfire is YOUR responsibility. As much as they may want to, conditions may make it impossible to safety reach and protect your property. Advance planning and knowing how to protect buildings in these areas can lessen the devastation of a wildfire.
