Launched by a citizen volunteer board, the Wildfire Resource Center aims to empower county residents and visitors to be aware of fire danger, and ways to reduce fire danger to homes and properties. The Mountain Studies Institute created an interactive map for county residents to view current and past fire mitigation efforts, as well as outlining fire mitigation risk to homes. The Center provides information about current fire danger, resources for your local fire protection district. How to prepare in the event of a wildfire and more. The Wildfire Resource Center can be found on the La Plata County website under the Emergency Management tab.
