You can also view parcel-specific assessments, community-specific assessments, and the community assessments that were completed as part of the 2023 Grand County CWPP project effort. Both the parcel-specific and community-specific assessments are completed by wildland firefighters from local fire departments

The Community and Parcel Wildfire Assessments are evaluations of wildfire risks conducted through drive-by assessments completed by wildland firefighters from local fire departments. These assessments help identify potential vulnerabilities in communities situated near wildland urban interface (WUI) areas where wildfires are a threat. Wildfire risk is categorized into levels of various ratings, ranging from low to moderate, high, very high, and extreme.
