Could This Be Your Home?
How Prepared Are You?

Many homes in the Steamboat Springs-Routt County area are built nestled beneath timber, grass and brush. This can be detrimental to your home; a home like this can be destroyed by wildfire before the fire department arrives.

Annually, there are several interface fires in Routt County - fortunately no structures or lives have been lost.

Use this checklist to help make your home firewise or contact the fire station or the Colorado State Forest Service for more information.

The Department conducted a wildfire hazard survey to provide the residents with an easy method of determining their wildfire hazard.
