Community invited to virtual meeting for wildfire mitigation

Residents are invited to learn about the 2021 plan for mitigating fire risk in Durango during a virtual meeting from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday.

Fire experts will present information about the plan and answer questions. Fire Adapted Durango, a partnership between the city of Durango Parks and Recreation Department and fire experts, has developed a plan for mitigating wildfire risk within the Durango Wildland Urban Interface zone – areas where human-made improvements are built close to, or within, natural terrain and flammable vegetation.

Representatives with Colorado State Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, Wildfire Adapted Partnership, Durango Fire Protection District and other agencies will be available to answer questions about different aspects of the 2021 plan during the meeting.
