Northern Colorado's Larimer County holds the scars of the two biggest fires the region has seen: the 2020 Cameron Peak Fire (the largest in Colorado history at 208,913 acres) and the 2012 High Park Fire (259 homes lost). The 2024 Alexander Mountain Fire burned again west of Loveland.
Estes Park and the canyons west of Fort Collins and Loveland remain ringed by recovering, fire-prone stands and extensive standing dead fuel. We help residents re-establish defensible space in the burn's footprint and beyond.

Burn-scar properties face standing dead trees and regrowth that can re-burn. We prioritize hazard-tree removal and re-establishing defensible space; start with a risk assessment.
Yes, Estes Park is surrounded by fire-prone forest and was threatened by the 2020 East Troublesome Fire. Defensible space and home hardening are strongly recommended.
