Watch Now: Teller County Wildfire Safety Forum Replay
Teller County ranks in the top 1% of all U.S. counties for wildland fire risk. We’re in a serious drought. Insurance companies are actively dropping homeowners across our region. And 185 square miles in southern Teller County have no organized fire protection at all.
At our February 28 Wildfire Safety Forum (sponsored by Braver Angels, Teller County Democrates and Teller County Republicans), Commissioner Stone, state forestry officials, and local fire chiefs delivered a clear message: the time to act on mitigation is now — not when smoke is in the air.
Fire crews triage homes during wildfires. If your property isn’t prepared, they may have to pass it by. Your mitigation work today could be the difference between your home standing or not — and between keeping or losing your insurance.
Watch the replay to learn what you need to do, what resources are available, and how neighbors are already helping neighbors get it done.

No, the Forest Service isn’t being dismantled. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Our mission continues, our teams remain dedicated, and our motto endures: “Caring for the Land and Serving People.”
We understand and appreciate the support from those who care about these lands as much as we do.
Here are the facts:
• We are moving headquarters west to Salt Lake City to be closer to the 90% of the lands we manage.
• We are shifting staff capacity out from behind desks and into the forests and districts that are desperately understaffed.
• No lands are being transferred or sold to states.
• State directors will be career employees, not political appointees.
• Our research programs and activities continue.
• Our forest and district offices remain unchanged.
• Our fire program remains unchanged.

"We're feeling beat up, battered and so disappointed," said one National Park Service employee I talked with who requested anonymity, "and now they are coming for more...reducing the budget and forcing more of our staff out. We are so sorry we are no longer able to take care of of our citizens' national parks the way they should be managed for them and for future generations"
If you care, get everyone you know to contact their elected officials and demand that this nonsense stop.
