PARK COUNTY, CO — Dear Members of the Land and Water Trust Fund Board and the Park County Board of County Commissioners,

We want to extend our sincere gratitude for your decision to award funding for the completion of the Fire Suppression Pond work within the Platte Canyon Fire Protection District. Your support directly strengthens the safety and resilience of our community, and we are deeply appreciative of your commitment to this project.

Fire Suppression Ponds play a critical role in protecting the residents of this area. In a region where wildfire risk is both persistent and growing, these ponds provide essential, reliable water sources for firefighting operations. Their presence reduces response times, increases suppression effectiveness, and offers a vital buffer for neighborhoods that rely on swift, well supported fire protection. For the Platte Canyon Fire Protection District, these ponds are not just infrastructure—they are life‑safety assets that help safeguard homes, property, and the wellbeing of everyone who lives here.

Your investment ensures that these ponds will remain functional, compliant, and ready to serve the community when they are needed most. Thank you for recognizing the importance of this work and for helping advance a project that directly enhances public safety.

With appreciation, 

Fire Adapted Park County Board Members
