Wildfire Season, and Preparation for it

The recent Indian Hills (Golden), Burning Tree (Franktown), and many other smaller wildfires should be a wake up call that fire season is here early this year, and all indications are that it may be a bad one. While there is little that we can do about the lack of precipitation, there is much that we can do to lessen the effects if/when a wildfire affects us personally.

A recent article on 9News - http://www.9news.com/news/local/article ... r-wildfire , gives some general guidelines on fire mitigation.

Another recent article on kktv.com - http://www.kktv.com/news/headlines/118669439.html , gives some general advice on preparing for evacuation and making sure your insurance coverage is up to date.

The Fire Mitigation/Disaster Preparation Forum at DSV provides much useful information, including Creating a Family Communications Plan , Tips for Evacuations , and Evacuation Routes during Wildfires .

We cannot do anything about the high fire danger, but we can do a lot to help protect ourselves and our loved ones.
