The Fire Adapted Communities Coalition has released a report, " Lessons from Waldo Canyon” and a companion video, “Creating Fire Adapted Communities: A Case Study from Colorado Springs and the Waldo Canyon Fire.” The report and video are based on interviews, field visits and tours of the City’s most affected neighborhoods conducted by the FAC Coalition’s assessment team during a three day visit to the area in July 2012. These new resources share the post-fire field investigation, and stress the importance of communities becoming fire adapted.
Join the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) on Thursday, April 18 at 11 am ET, for their complimentary webinar, "Lessons from the Waldo Canyon Fire" and discuss how the city of Colorado Springs' wildland fire safety programs could be applied in your community.
