Why Fire Mitigation is Important in Colorado Springs
Colorado Springs sits in one of the highest wildfire risk areas in the state. Dry winters, strong winds, and long stretches without moisture leave heavy fuel on the ground, and our foothills and open spaces put neighborhoods right up against it. The Waldo Canyon and Black Forest fires showed how fast a fire can move through this region and how little time people have to react. For a lot of properties here, defensible space is no longer optional. It is what stands between a structure and an approaching ember.
