ICFR offers wildland assessments to your neighborhoods and Home Owners Associations

ICFR offers a Neighborhood Wildfire Review to our citizens in the Inter-Canyon Fire Protection District.  The Neighborhood Wildfire Review helps the residents of our district at risk from wildfire to make their homes safer. The review provides you and your neighbors with a thorough understanding of how homes ignite during wildfires, how simple actions can greatly reduce home ignitions, and how community behavior change can create Firewise homes and communities.

Experienced wildland firefighters from ICFR can meet with your neighborhood gathering or your Home Owners Association meeting to identify hazards and reduce risks in the home ignition zone before a wildfire starts. By applying new knowledge of how wildland/urban interface fires occur and by using new approaches, future wildland/urban interface fire risks may be significantly reduced. 

Firefighters in the wildland/urban interface (any area where wildland fuels threaten to ignite combustible homes and structures) must overcome severe challenges. There just aren’t enough resources to protect every home threatened by a wildfire. Everyone in the vicinity of such a fire is at risk, and the risk is greatly increased in areas that aren’t prepared.  The goal of the Neighborhood Wildfire Review is to help you and your neighbors  decrease the risks and threats of wildfires through public education, community design, land use planning, collaboration, preparedness and prevention programs.

If you are interested in the Neighborhood Wildfire Review we ask that you:

1.  Identify 20 neighbors from your area who will attend the review.

2.  Coordinate the date and time, as well as disseminating the information regarding the meeting to your neighbors or HOA.

3.  Contact the ICFPD administrative offices to coordinate a meeting time, date and location.  You can call our offices at 303-697-4413 Monday through Friday 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
