Colorado homeowners who live where forests abut civilization like most of the Roaring Fork Valley are being urged by state and local public safety officials to buckle up for another potentially active fire season.
Warm temperatures, low humidity and high winds have already ramped up the fire danger.
“After last week, we’re in fire season now,” said Roaring Fork Fire Rescue Chief Scott Thompson.
