Wildfire season is here—are you ready?
Join us for a Community Wildfire Meeting on Friday, May 2nd | 6:00–7:30 PM at South Fork Fire Rescue.

We’ll be walking through what you can do to prepare for wildfire season and answering all your questions. Whether you live in South Fork full-time or seasonally, this is your chance to be informed and prepared.

Here’s what we’ll cover:
• A clear overview of the current Community Wildfire Protection Plan
• How your property can impact—or improve—fire behavior
• How you can help protect your home and community through mitigation
• Evacuation planning: what to expect and how to be ready
• Your questions answered.

Everyone is welcome. Bring your neighbors, your questions, and your curiosity.

We will broadcast it LIVE on Facebook for those who will be unable to attend in person.

Additional information is available in our Facebook event https://facebook.com/events/s/community-wildfire-protection-/663776336384005/

Great advice from our friends at Mountain Dream Real Estate

🔥 Stay Fire-Aware, Colorado Friends

As we head into spring and early summer, fire weather conditions can change quickly—especially in high-altitude areas like Creede, South Fork, and across Mineral County.

Whether you're a full-time resident, a landowner, or just planning a visit, it’s important to stay informed and prepared. The National Weather Service Fire Weather Page is a great resource for daily updates, alerts, and safety info for all regions of Colorado.

🛰️ Check your zone, track fire conditions, and make smart decisions before burning, recreating, or working outdoors.

Let’s all do our part to protect our forests, homes, and communities.
