Be very careful. Watch for unsafe behavior and speak up!

THE NATION IS NOW AT PREPAREDNESS LEVEL 5

The United States has reached Preparedness Level 5, the highest level on the national wildland fire preparedness scale.

At PL5, wildland fire resources across the country are heavily committed. Crews, engines, aircraft, incident management teams and support personnel are being prioritized and moved where they are needed most.

Active geographic areas must take emergency measures to sustain incident operations. Even areas experiencing lower fire activity are providing resources and approaching drawdown levels.

Across the country, IMTA members are actively supporting the wildland fire response. From incident management and coordination to planning, logistics, public information, and other critical functions, these professionals are helping communities and responders navigate an increasingly demanding fire season.

Everyone can help protect these limited resources. Prevent human-caused fires, follow local fire restrictions, and remain prepared for changing conditions.

Please be prepared. Be ready to go and mitigate your property.

Colorado’s blistering, dry and breezy conditions have fire officials on edge as the state braces for a wildfire season forecast to be worse than during the Waldo Canyon fire in 2012. https://buff.ly/ZRjWxfj

TRAIL CLOSURES: All open space areas west of Hwy 36, including Rabbit Mountain, will be closed on Friday, Dec. 19, due to the significant wind event and extreme fire danger forecast by the National Weather Service. Visitors are highly discouraged from using parks, trails, and open space areas in the remainder of the county.

Please stay safe!

On Friday, Dec. 19, we ask that people stay home and off the roads. Wind conditions will be dangerously high, especially in areas west of Broadway in Boulder and along the foothills.

There will be significant debris in the roads, including downed limbs and power lines, and some traffic signals will be out. Wind and fire conditions can escalate quickly. Police, Fire and Paramedics will benefit from less traffic on the roads so that they can respond more quickly to emergencies and life safety situations.

Thank you for staying home and off the roads if you can, in an effort to support emergency operations and safety in our community.

If you or a family member rely on durable medical equipment, now is a good time to think about a backup plan to anything that needs power to operate, or supplies you need to replenish. Reach out to your care provider for help/guidance.
