The Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS) and Leadville/Lake County Fire Rescue (LLCFR) have been awarded a grant from the Colorado Water Conservation Board, due to the efforts of several partners in the Arkansas River Watershed Collaborative. Part of this grant offers a wildfire risk assessment to homeowners in the southern part of Lake County.
The Coordinator, Caroline Schaefer, will meet with homeowners individually to review their property, assess their fire risk, and talk through mitigation opportunities. Homeowners participating in this program will also receive a copy of the map which will identify wildland fire risks within the area.
Caroline will be attending the July 23rd Lot Owner’s Meeting at Beaver Lakes.
This project will help insure water quality for the Arkansas River Basin and allow homeowners in the area to be better educated on ways to protect their homes and property in the event of a wildland fire. Homeowners are encouraged to contact Caroline with questions or concerns regarding the wildland fire assessments and evaluations.
