Did you know about the FREE Home Wildland Fire Mitigation evaluation available from the Golden Fire Department?  Professionals from our Fire Department and Forestry Department will come to your home and evaluate/recommend what you can do to help ‘Harden’ your home against Wildfires.   Go to this link to sign up and find out what you could do to help protect your home in the event of a Wildfire.  By the way, I just did mine and have started working on ‘hardening’ my home.
