Protecting Your Home from Wildfires

Wildfire threats are on the rise in Colorado, putting homes and businesses-especially on the Western Slope-at significant risk. With over a million properties already vulnerable, proactive fire mitigation is more important than ever. Many Colorado residents on the Western Slope live in areas surrounded by native trees and shrubs-what the state refers to as the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI). While these landscapes are beautiful, they also pose a significant wildfire risk. Creating defensible spacearound your home is crucial to protecting your property and loved ones.
