Protect Your Home from Wildfire | Eagle County, Colorado

Sep 16, 2022

Are you inviting a wildfire to burn down your home? On this field trip episode of Elevating Health, Eric Lovgren, the Community Migitation Manager for Eagle County, has the top #3 tips you need to harden your home against wildfire, and how you and your family can be prepared for the worst should you need to evacuate. Wildfire season is rapidly becoming year round in Colorado. Even after a summer of welcome precipitation, all it takes is one spark to start a devastating fire. As we witness fires in Oregon, Idaho, and Washington this September, and see smoke blown into Colorado from those states, it serves as a reminder that the every community, including ours, in the American West is at risk from fires.
