Here they are looking back at the Fourmile Fire.

A Look Back: Fourmile Canyon Fire
Boulder County’s Most Destructive Wildfire

What I remember the most was the wind.

The howling, gusting, torrential winds coming off the mountains that day.

Having just moved in to our Nederland home six weeks prior, we spent the Labor Day holiday putting up a small shed.

As my husband stood on the ladder, the winds spun the tin roofing material out of his hands. Other than the winds, the day was gorgeous. An azure blue sky with nary a cloud to be seen.

As I tried to hand him another piece of tin, a huge mushroom cloud appeared above the trees.

Mile High Youth Corps
Youth + Fire Mitigation Equals Happy Homeowners

“I would like to say how AWESOME the Youth Corps was when they worked on our property! Thanks to Wildfire Partners and the Youth Corps, we have almost everything finished for wildfire mitigation now.” – Chris B.

Mile High Youth Corps partnered with Wildfire Partners for the third year, with an 8-person crew providing much needed fire mitigation to homeowners in the southern part of the county.

The crew accomplished more over five weeks than a homeowner could have accomplished in a year, cutting trees down, removing junipers, and performing other mitigation tasks.
