Local, state and federal officials are preparing for what could be another troubling wildfire season in Colorado.
The Colorado Division of Fire Prevention & Control released the state’s 2021 Wildfire Preparedness Plan earlier this month, a document that outlines the state’s wildfire outlook, firefighting resources and recommendations for improving operations in the future, among other points.
The plan begins by reflecting on the 2020 wildfire season and trying to contextualize the growing dangers of wildfires in Colorado at large. Members of the public are well aware by now that the three largest wildfires in the state’s history all unfolded last year: the 208,913-acre Cameron Peak Fire, the 193,812-acre East Troublesome Fire and the 139,007-acre Pine Gulch Fire.
