More than half of Colorado's population lives in areas at risk for wildfires! Whether you live in a single-family, condo or townhome community proper fire mitigation is essential for protecting your home. 

​The Wildfire Mitigation Division of the Colorado Springs Fire Department is a good resource for tips on reducing wildfire risk in your HOA. Here are 10 Tips they offer:
​
  1. Create a defensible space around your home, condo or townhouse. Colorado Springs Fire Department recommends thinning out 30 feet or to your properly line, whichever comes first.
  2. Keep rain gutters clear of leaves and pine needles.
  3. Do not store combustibles on or under decks, including fire wood.
  4. Rake up pine needles and leaves within 30 feet of any structure.
  5. Select plant species with fire resistant characteristics.
  6. Keep grasses mowed to a maximum height of 4 inches.
  7. Incorporate landscape designs to break up fuel continuity (i.e. paths, rock walls, gravel mulch, etc.)
  8. Keep address clearly marked and visible from both directions of traffic.
  9. Prune lower branches; removing ladder fuels will help keep the fire from getting into the crowns of trees. Remove dead or diseased trees and brush.
  10. When making home improvements or repairs, consider wildfire safety. Install Class-A roofing and fire-resistant siding and decking.

There are many other resources to help reduce your HOA's wildfire risk. For more information, contact your Community Manager at Diversified Association Management. 

Thanks for reading!
