JEFFERSON COUNTY , Colo. — Over the next two weeks, Jefferson County officials hope to gather community feedback as they draft a new evacuation plan and a Community Wildfire Protection Plan .'What they really speak to is about fire preparedness planning as well as risk mitigation and other components that help either a community or the county both prepare for and be in a good place to respond to wildfire events,' said Brian Keating, fire management officer for Jefferson County .
The plan explains, 'The purposes of WUI demarcation for the Jefferson County CWPP are to guide implementation of zoning and building codes to reduce the ignitability of structures, prioritize fuel treatments to protect lives, property, infrastructure, and resources, identify areas eligible for WUI-specific grant funding, and fulfill CWPP requirements set forth by the Colorado State Forest Service.
