Wildfire Preparedness Event

April 14, 2018, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM @ Community Center

The combination of a low snowpack and an expected dry, hot summer puts Glenwood Springs and surrounding areas at a greater risk for wildfires this summer. Come hear from local firefighters on what you can do to help prevent wildfires and get informed on what to do if a wildfire occurs. Information will include: home fire-resilience strategies, evacuation preparation, drought information, and more. This is a family friendly event that will include a presentation and Q&A with firefighters, handouts, firetruck demos, and complimentary ice cream! City and county residents are encouraged to attend as wildfires can spread quickly. In coordination with other local fire agencies to inform residents across the Roaring Fork Valley, Colorado River Fire Rescue (CRFR) is hosting a similar event on April 14 at the Silt Fire Station from 10am-12pm. If you cannot attend either of these events, be sure to look for similar events in your area, or contact your local fire agency for more informatio
