A Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP) is a document developed primarily by your local fire department in collaboration with County, State, and Federal agencies, as well as the community itself. It serves as a detailed assessment of our current hazards, plans to minimize them as best we can, and outlines for emergency response in the event of wildfire. The CWPP is very important for emergency preparedness throughout our response area, and serves as a gateway to qualifying for a multitude of grants - both to RCVFD and to homeowners.
RCVFD, together with you, the communities within our response area, completed an all-new CWPP in July 2026. A big thank you goes out to the CWPP team; our stakeholders from LCSOES, CSFS, and USFS; and you! This is your plan, and without your input and involvement we couldn't have done it.
To read our CWPP or see CWPPs from other communities, head over to the Colorado State Forest Service site, which hosts the official copies of all CWPPs in Colorado.
