I live in the Los Cerros Colorados subdivision off Hyde Park Road. Our area is considered very high on the scale for the threat of wildfire. I would like to make my own home as fire wise as possible and share the information I gather with other concerned residents. I want to do my part in helping make the Hyde Park Road corridor more resistant to the spread of wildfire.

I have been involved in wildfire communications (social media and PIO training) for eight years, for the most part on incidents but also in ongoing preparedness activities. I'm interested in learning more about the physical assessments - mostly for myself but if I can accomplish that, I would be happy to help others assess their properties.

Folks often don't know where to look for information on wildfire, fuels management, and fire planning. I see the FAC network as a way to make connections between those with the knowledge and those without. As more and more connections are made the understanding of wildfire increases and folks are able to take actions that work for them. I been involved with fire for over 20 years and think I can help make those connections.
