Much of Summit County's development occurs in the "wildland/urban interface", meaning that homes and businesses are built in close proximity to forested areas.  Summit County's forests currently have or are anticipated to have a high risk of wildfire, which places many of our homes and businesses in danger from wildfire. 

To address the potential for catastrophic wildfire, Summit County Government, local fire districts, Colorado State Forest Service, U.S.D.A. Forest Service, towns and other entities joined forces to develop the Summit County Community Wildfire Protection Plan (SCCWPP).  This plan outlines an active process for reducing hazards in the wildland/urban interface through fuel reduction projects. 

Next Wildfire Council Meeting: Wednesday, Sept. 8, 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

Location:  County Commons, Frisco
