Community Wildfire Protection Plan Survey
The Fort Morgan Fire Department is excited to announce that it has begun the process of creating a Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP).
Creating our CWPP will bring diverse experts together to evaluate wildfire risk in our community. This will enable our Fire Department to increase our ability to effectively and safely respond to wildfires, and to provide resources to homeowners and communities to ensure that they are protected and prepared for wildfires when they occur.
We need your input to make sure that our plan reflects your needs, concerns and opinions about wildfires in Morgan County! Please take the time to complete a brief survey, linked here.
Stay tuned for the announcement of community events to learn more about the CWPP and provide essential input to help the Fire Department complete the best plan possible.
