DID YOU KNOW?
According to the Park County Community Wildfire Protection Plan, “the Bailey area is the largest area of high risk, in that it contains the largest population and amount of development…and is located within and adjacent to heavily forested lands with a high fire occurrence history, including several large fires. It has high values at risk, generally high fuels risk, and high ignition risk.” This critical assessment shows that fire mitigation and emergency planning are not optional - but essential safeguards for our community. It's not a question of IF another fire will occur, but when. By investing in mitigation efforts now and having thorough emergency plans in place, we can significantly reduce potential losses and protect both lives and property when facing future wildfire events.
