Can Any Home Receive An Assessment?

Yes, any home or building within the Aspen Fire Protection District can and should be evaluated for its wildfire risk.

What Does The Assessment Look At?

Our assessments look at all aspects of the building, from the construction inside and out, to the vegetation, and even the surrounding topography. Our assessment criteria comes from guidelines recommended by the Colorado State Forest Service and the FireWise program.

Will Getting An Assessment Force Me To Mitigate?

Our assessments are simply recommendations to help lower the wildfire risk to your home, neighborhood, and the Aspen area. While mitigation increases your home’s chances for survival, it also helps emergency responders in the event of a wildfire.

Who Can Do The Recommended Mitigation?

There are many local tree companies and landscapers that can do the recommended mitigation work or you can do it on your own, the choice is up to you.
