The next Boulder County CWPP Community Engagement Open House is happening soon.

When: Saturday Nov. 4th

Where: Fourmile FPD station

1740 Fourmile Canyon Drive,

Boulder, CO 80302

What time: 9-11 a.m.

This is an opportunity for residents from Gold Hill, Sunshine Canyon, Sugarloaf, and Fourmile Canyon to learn, ask questions and provide input on their wildfire concerns, needs and challenges. This is an open house format so it will be in person only. We will have several stations set-up on topics: Response and Alert, Forest Management, Community Preparedness and Outreach and Education and a CWPP/Comment station. Coffee and light snacks will be provided.

Community Outreach

Is your Boulder County-based community group, fire district, or agency looking for help with community outreach around wildfire mitigation? Wildfire Partners has a team of subject matter experts available to help.

Check out what we have to offer in both East and West Boulder County.

Last month we introduced you to some of our newest Wildfire Partners employees.

We’d also like to share with you our Program Assistants who help to answer your emails and phone calls as well as schedule appointments, process assessment reports and much more.
