Warm temperatures + Wind Increases Fire Risk

Fire danger will remain a concern across much of Colorado on Saturday due to warm and windy conditions. Much of the state has been labeled under a red flag warning. Southwest winds will help drive the temperature well into the 90s from the Interstate 25 corridor to the eastern plains. Denver's existing record for this date is 95 degrees, which may be in jeopardy. The winds will be strong, over 30 mph at times on the plains and over 50 mph at times in the high country. Inter-Canyon Fire/Rescue prepares for increased fire risk with basic and advanced wildland firefighting training, preparation of equipment and apparatus, and rapid response to reports of smoke. Are you and your family prepared with mitigation of your home and preparation for evacuation?
