It's technically spring, but March tends to be a very snowy month in Colorado. If you have to get out on the roads today, slow down and take your time getting to your destination.

Our crews will be conducting pile burn operations over the next few months as conditions permit. These burns will take place in West Vail. This project will reduce hazardous fuels conditions on town owned land and decrease wildfire hazards to the adjacent community.

Are you ready for wildfire? The time to prepare is now.
