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.
