Firewise Mitigation
Every year, wildfires burn across the U.S. And more and more, people are living in forest areas and grasslands where wildfires are a real risk. By working together, there are things residents within the DRPOA community can do to make their home and family safe––and neighborhood safe.
Wildfire Mitigation Survey
Douglass Ranch residents are likely well aware of the potential for wildfire. A number of large Colorado wildfires in recent years has kept the wildfire topic in the news.
The survey results are intended to help the Firewise committee be responsive to the neighborhood, and help develop a path forward in neighborhood-wide wildfire mitigation.

In 2023 the Firewise Committee, our neighborhood Ambassadors and the Conifer Wildland Division of the Elk Creek Fire Protection District worked together to update the Douglass Ranch Community Assessment. The 2023 Assessment updates a 2016 Assessment as recommended by Firewise. The detailed report discusses neighborhood level concerns and recommends areas for improvement.
Firewise is a voluntary program that provides a framework to help neighbors get organized, find direction, and take action to increase the ignition resistance
of their homes and community.
