Our objective is to create awareness of wildfire risk in the city's wildland -urban interface (WUI) and to deliver mitigation information that assists homeowners in reducing their risk. Wildfire hazard evaluations have been performed on more than 36,485 homes within the city's interface and are located at http://gis.springsgov.com/wildfiremitigation

 The Wildfire Mitigation Section works in stewardship with 92 homeowner associations and neighborhood organizations.  We can not eliminate wildfire risk, but we can certainly work to improve it and increase the chance for the stand alone survivability of the structures.  To participate in neighborhood chipping, schedule onsite consultations or neighborhood meetings, please contact the Wildfire Mitigation office at 719-385-7342.
