Fire season is no longer just “summer". Colorado is increasingly seeing wildland fires at all times of year driven by warming temperatures, earlier snowmelt, longer dry periods, and low humidity meaning fuels (grass, brush, trees) dry out earlier and stay dry longer. Monitoring programs now treat wildfire risk as a year-round concern, not just late spring to early fall. Sharing information across first responders, neighbors, cities, public and private resources is more important than ever.
