Rotary has a group dedicated to helping our mountain community prepare for the possibility of a wildfire disaster, Rotary Wildfire Safety. It is a group of Rotarians and community members from Conifer, Evergreen and Bailey who have been working since 2020 on improving wildfire safety for our communities.

• We researched risk models that insurance companies use and we found them seriously incorrect. We told legislators that it is in everyone's interest for these risk models to be accurate.
• A major victory for Colorado homeowners. The legislature wrote and passed HB 25-1182, which requires insurance companies to prove their wildfire risk models accurate, and have them tell customers what mitigation, home hardening and fuel breaks are needed to protect their homes. This starts July 2026.
• We've helped arrange installation of wildfire-spotting cameras on nearby mountains
• We've argued for more wildfire spending by the county, which may boost its wildfire staff from 1 to 36
