What Happened with the Marshall Fire?

Why Fire Mitigation & Defensible Space Matter in Arvada — Lessons from the Marshall Fire

• The Marshall Fire ignited on December 30, 2021 in Boulder County, Colorado. It spread very rapidly, fueled by extreme winds (some gusts between 70-100+ mph) and lots of dry grass and brush.

• The fire destroyed over 1,000 structures, damaged many more, forced mass evacuations, and became the costliest wildfire on record in Colorado.

How Arvada is Vulnerable to Wildfire

While the Marshall Fire was centered further west, it included pre-evacuation notices for Arvada among other suburban/urban fringe communities.

Arvada, being close to wild land and urban interface areas and foothills, faces comparable risks:

• Dry vegetation, especially during drought or dry late seasons

• Potential for high winds sweeping down slopes / foothills that can accelerate fire spread

• Neighboring properties with combustible vegetation/brush that can act as fuel

What is Defensible Space & Fire Mitigation?

Defensible Space refers to a buffer zone between a structure (home, outbuildings) and potential wildfire fuel (brush, trees, grasses). It reduces the threat wildfire poses to the building and gives firefighters a safer area to work.

Fire Mitigation includes practices like:

• Schedule Defensible Space Inspection

• Removing dead or dry vegetation

• Pruning lower branches on trees so fire can’t easily climb into crowns

• Spacing trees and shrubs so fire can’t jump from one to another

• Using fire resistant landscaping (ground covers, plants that are less flammable)
