Agate

Hazard Rating: 54, Moderate Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Cistern at Pleasant Park Road, and small draft ponds

Description: This is a low density community of mostly small ranch style homes. Typical construction is wood siding or brick with asphalt roofs. There are three roads in this community: Agate, Emerald and Legault. Emerald and Legault are dead ends. Roads are unpaved and are mostly flat and in good condition. An old cemetery on Legault Lane has historic value to the area. Access and egress are easy due to the close proximity of all homes to Pleasant Park Road. There is a cistern and some small draft ponds near the intersection of Legault and Pleasant Park Road. Topography is gentle to moderate throughout this community. Most homes have adequate defensible space due to being located in open meadows.

Vegetation: This WUI is characterized by open meadows and open ponderosa woodlands with grass understory. Most of the homes are located in short grass meadows. In the north portion of this community, slopes are steeper and there are some stands of closed-canopy conifer stands, but surface and ladder fuels have been mitigated near homes.

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. This applies to homes in open meadows as well as homes surrounded by forest. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition Wildfire Risk and Hazard Severity Form NFPA 1144 Community Name: Agate Overall Rating: 54 Moderate

Amerind Springs

Hazard Rating: 87, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Drafting from Elk Creek and pond with dry hydrant at Kincaid Springs

Description: Amerind Springs was originally names Indian Springs Village when it was built as a seasonal vacation community in the 1940’s. The original seasonal cabins are old railroad cabooses that are considered to be historic structures. Other than the railroad cabooses, most homes are wood siding or log construction. The area has some new construction, but most properties are older homes or summer cabins that have been converted to permanent residences. Defensible space on many properties is inadequate. Roads are steep and narrow in spots. This community’s mean distance to a fire station is greater than five miles. The secondary egress route, into Swiss Village, has been gated by a private landowner, but would be passable with some basic improvement and upkeep. The nearest water supply for fire suppression is Elk Creek. Slopes are moderate, and most homes are built on relatively flat areas.

Vegetation: The area is mostly covered by forests dominated by ponderosa pine. On north-facing slopes, the forests are denser and have a higher percentage of Douglas-fir and other conifer species. Most areas around homes have few ladder or surface fuels, but defensible space is minimal on most properties.

Amerind Springs

Recommendations:

● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability ● Improve or expand defensible space, especially in zone 1, by limbing and/or thinning trees and disposing of slash. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Replace older non-rated roofing materials with Class A roofing materials. ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Add reflective addressing to all driveways and homes. ● Work with property owners to add apparatus pullouts on Amerind Springs Trail. ● Install dry hydrant across S. Elk Creek Road for drafting from Elk Creek. ● Work with private property owner to improve and maintain emergency egress route into Swiss Village. ● Install shaded fuelbreak on southern end of the WUI, off of Amerind Springs Trail.

Apache Springs

Hazard Rating: 105 Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Small cistern at Hidden Trail

Description: Apache Springs contains homes with a mixture of old and new construction of predominately wood siding and asphalt roofs. This is a high-density area with homes on small lots. Many properties need defensible space. Access in the area is hampered by very narrow dead-end roads with tight switchbacks. Several homes need clearly visible, reflective address numbers. The nearest water for fire suppression is a small cistern at 27966 Hidden Trail. The lack of water supply could hamper fire fighting efforts in this WUI. Slopes are moderate to steep, with several homes built on slopes greater than 30%.

Vegetation: The area is mostly covered by forests dominated by ponderosa pine. On north-facing slopes, the forests are denser and have a higher percentage of Douglas-fir. Some stands have tall shrubs and other ladder fuels, which can contribute to intense fire behavior. A few dense stands of lodgepole pine are also present, but they are not continuous.

Apache Springs

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Thin vegetation along all access roads. ● Widen one-lane roads and add apparatus pullouts where possible. ● Add reflective addressing to all driveways and homes. ● Install shaded fuelbreak northwest of Buena Vista and south of Sunlight; tie fuelbreak to the meadows on the north and south sides of the WUI. ● Improve Evergreen Drive to create egress route into Conifer High School.

Aspen Park

Hazard Rating: 66, Moderate Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Pressurized hydrants at Conifer town center and The Village at Aspen Park, and community cisterns

Description: This is one of the largest and most densely populated WUI areas in ECFPD. This is an area of very mixed construction. There are a number of newer homes especially near Highway 285; however there are also a large number of older residences on small lots, especially in the north end of this community. Wood siding and asphalt roofs are the most common construction. The Highway 285 corridor is highly developed, with few wildland fuels and a high-density mix of commercial and residential construction. Homes are on larger lots and many are built in short grass meadows. This “more urban” corridor, is however a relatively small strip along the highway. Roads are generally in good condition and of adequate width near Highway 285, but become steeper and narrow further away from the highway, especially on the north side of the WUI. There are a number of cisterns in this community and pressurized hydrants in the commercial development. Response times are short for this area since Station 4 is located in Aspen Park and is also quickly accessed from Station 1 via Highway 285. Slopes are moderate in this community. The only homes built on steep slopes are on Berrian Mountain.

Vegetation: Near the highway, short grasses are the dominant fuels, however fuels transition to heavy loads of closed-canopy mixed conifer to the south, farther away from Highway 285. There are also large stands of open-canopy ponderosa pine with grass understory with few surface and ladder fuels.

Aspen Park

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Thin vegetation along access roads, particularly along Light Lane, where dense fuels are growing close to the road. ● Complete shaded fuelbreak south of Snyder; tie to private roads and light fuels in the subdivision near the highway.

Belle Meade

Hazard Rating: 72, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Community cistern, ECFPD Station 1 cistern

Description: This is a new WUI area, where the majority of the homes have been built in the last 10 years. Development is ongoing, where approximately 50% of the lots have homes completed or under construction. Most homes have fire-resistant siding and all new homes have asphalt or metal fire-resistant roofs. Roads are somewhat narrow and steep, but are paved and in good condition, with turnarounds at driveways, and turnabouts at the entrance to multiple driveways. Street signs and address are present, but are not reflective, and would be difficult to see in low-visibility conditions. Given that the development is new, these homes have conforming defensible space as required by Jefferson County planning and zoning. In addition, extensive fuels mitigation has been completed throughout the Belle Meade subdivision. A few older homes outside of the Belle Meade subdivision are in this WUI area, along Blackfoot Road, but have adequate defensible space overall. Homes are built on a fairly flat ridge top with steep slopes (greater than >30%) below them. ECFPD Station 1 is located in this WUI, at Highway 285 and Blackfoot Road, providing good water supply and quick response time. There is an old cemetery at 285 and Foxton Road, which has historic value to the area.

Vegetation: The area is mostly covered by dense closed-canopy mixed conifer forests. Ponderosa pine stands are also present in a few areas. Fuels are heavy and continuous throughout the community; however, several acres between Mountain View, Apache, and Cherokee Roads have been extensively mitigated, removing ladder fuels, dead trees, and opening the canopy.

Belle Meade

Recommendations:

● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees and disposing of slash. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition ● Thin vegetation along access roads, particularly below roads on steep slopes. ● Change existing wooden road signs to standard metal, reflective signs. ● Add reflective addressing to all driveways and homes. ● Install shaded fuelbreak along Blackfoot Road to ECFPD Station 1

Black Mountain

Hazard Rating: 96, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Draft/dip site pond on Black Mountain Road

Description: This is a high-density area with most homes located on 1-acre lots. About half of the area’s homes are on flat or gently sloping terrain, and the other half are on moderate to steep terrain. Most homes have wood siding with asphalt roofs. Few homes have adequate defensible space, with trees close to or touching structures on many properties. Streets are clearly marked with standard 4-inch reflective street signs, and most property numbers are clearly marked with reflective numbers that are distributed by ECFPD. Response times are long in this area, with the nearest fire station greater than 6 miles from the homes in this area. There is a small pond on Black Mountain Drive that could be used as a dip site or for drafting.

Vegetation: The area is mostly covered by dense “dog-hair” lodgepole pine forests. Closed-canopy mixed conifer is also present in a few areas. Some small meadows break up the continuous forest fuels, and there are extensive areas where additional cutting would release suppressed or declining aspen groves.

Black Mountain

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash appropriately ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Complete additional patch cuts in lodgepole west of Black Mountain Road and south of the end of Greening. ● On smaller parcels, create small patch cut openings where Aspen saplings are growing, to encourage the reestablishment of Aspen groves.

Calfee Gulch

Hazard Rating: 84, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: 30,000 gallon cistern

Description: This community is built on two dead end roads separated by a steep ridge. There are only a few homes here on relatively large lots. Most construction is modern, with log or wood siding and asphalt or metal roofs, but there are also some old seasonal cabins in this community. Defensible space is highly variable from one structure to the next, given the mixture of new construction and historic cabins. Both Calfee Gulch and Elk Haven Roads are moderately steep, narrow in spots and have vegetation encroaching on the road in some areas. Most homes are accessed via steep, narrow driveways. Most of these are long with poor surfaces and encroaching vegetation. Although this community is close to Station 1, response may be delayed by the poor access. Topography is moderate throughout the community.

Vegetation: The area is mostly covered by forests dominated by ponderosa pine, which is fairly open, with few surface and ladder fuels. On north-facing slopes, the forests are denser and have a higher percentage of Douglas-fir. A few acres along Calfee Gulch Road have been thinned and much of the large woody debris removed. A series of small meadows located in the center of the community provide natural fuelbreaks.

Calfee Gulch

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees and disposing of slash appropriately ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Thin vegetation along access roads where it has not yet been completed. ● Work with property owners to connect the end of Elk Haven Road to Calfee Gulch for a secondary emergency egress. ● Add apparatus pullouts on Calfee Gulch Road.

Conifer

Hazard Rating: 72, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Conifer Marketplace hydrants, cisterns, and draft pond with dry hydrant on Kennedy Gulch Rd.

Description: Although there is quite a bit of development along Highway 285, it is primarily commercial property. Most of the homes in the Conifer community are located on moderate to large lots in heavy fuels away from the highway. There are some homes located on relatively flat terrain, but the majority of homes are located mid-slope on moderate to steep hillsides. Homes are a mix of new and old construction types. Newer homes have some ignition resistant materials; however wood siding is still dominant. Access roads are generally good in Conifer, but there are some steep, narrow driveways that have heavy fuels encroaching. Roads are well marked and most homes have addresses at the driveway or on the house. Response times should be good to this WUI due to short distances to fire stations and easy access to most residences. There are several cisterns and draft ponds in Conifer for fire suppression use. Although topography is generally moderate in this community there are some steep slopes below homes. There is an old cemetery below the first curve on Pleasant Park Road, which has historic value to the area.

Vegetation: Fuels along the highway are primarily short grass meadows. Homes on the west side of Highway 285 are generally located in closed-canopy lodgepole stands or mixed conifer stands with heavy regeneration and understory plants, while homes on the east side are generally located in open-canopy ponderosa pine with grass understory, reflecting the drier, primarily-western aspect on the east side of the highway.

Conifer

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Complete shaded fuelbreak along Kennedy Gulch Road to the end of Belle Meade.

Conifer Meadows

Hazard Rating: 85, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Cisterns, draft pond, and dry hydrant on Blackhawk

Description: This community is built on steep slopes on both sides of Foxton Road. Very few properties have defensible space. Although this is a densely populated area, most homes are on moderate sized lots. Wood siding with asphalt roofs is the dominant construction type. Roads are generally wide and surfaces are good, although most roads and driveways are steep. Response to this area is likely to be very good considering the ease of access from both Station 1 and Station 4. There are only two cisterns in Conifer Meadows. Both of these are on the west side of Foxton Road. Topography is steep (slopes of greater than 30%) throughout this community and several homes are built in or near steep draws. Roads are clearly marked, but several homes do not have clearly visible address numbers. The small community of Broken Arrow located in this WUI is a recognized FireWise community, and several properties here are actively completing defensible space, forest fuels mitigation, and slash removal.

Vegetation: Other than a few meadows, the primary fuels are open canopy conifers with grass understory. On north-facing slopes, the forests are denser and have a higher percentage of Douglas-fir. Fuel loads are heavier on the west side of Foxton Road.

Conifer Meadows

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition ● Thin vegetation along access roads, particularly along Red Cloud, Powhatan, and Tecumseh. ● Install dry hydrant in draft pond on Running Deer. ● Complete shaded fuelbreak north of Roman Nose to Pleasant Park Road.

Conifer Mountain

Hazard Rating: 84, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Cisterns at Station 3 and Conifer Mountain Drive. Pressurized hydrants in King’s Valley

Description: This is a relatively densely populated community in ECFPD. On average, homes are on 1-3 acre lots. Homes in this area are primarily modern construction with wood siding and asphalt roofs. Future development is likely in this WUI, resulting in greater housing density. The average age (10-30 years) and construction type of residences is similar throughout the area. Many are constructed mid-slope in moderately dense fuels. Slopes are low to moderate near Highway 285, but are quite steep (greater than 30%) throughout most of the rest of this community. Street signage and addressing is generally good throughout the area. Access to homes near Highway 285 is generally good; however access roads become steep and narrow especially in the area north of Station 1. Response times in this community should be good considering Station 1 is located nearby. The limiting factor would be the poor condition of some access roads and driveways.

Vegetation: The area is mostly covered by forests dominated by ponderosa pine. On north-facing slopes, the forests are denser and have a higher percentage of Douglas-fir. The area also has large, dense “dog-hair” lodgepole pine and closed canopy mixed conifer forests. There are extensive areas where additional cutting would release suppressed or declining aspen groves. There are some stands of open-canopy ponderosa with grass understory, meadows, and Aspen groves; however these areas are relatively small.

Cub Creek

Hazard Rating: 101, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Draft pond off Cub Creek Road

Description: This is one of the more sparsely populated communities in ECFPD, and is directly adjacent to the Arapahoe National Forest. Private properties lay adjacent to Arapahoe National Forest. Most homes are modern, with conventional wood siding or log construction and asphalt roofs. There are a few older or historic cabins along Carol Drive with older asphalt or tar paper roofs. The unpaved roads are steep and rough in places and may only be passable with 4WD in wet conditions. There is heavy vegetation encroaching along most roads, and there are few pullouts and turnarounds. There are few homes with conforming defensible space. There is currently no alternate escape route from this community. Although Evergreen Fire Station 8 (Brook Forest) is .8 mile from the entrance of the Cub Creek community, response times can be slow due to the rough conditions of the roads. There is a pond on the Shofner property off of Cub Creek Road that could be used as a water source, but there are no other established water sources for fire suppression within the community. Topography is steep with deep draws and slopes of greater than 30% throughout the area.

Vegetation: The forests are dense, multi-aged closed canopy mixed conifer and lodgepole stands. The presence of very large, old Douglas fir and lodgepole pine trees with dense understory regeneration suggests that this area has not had any ecological disturbance in over 100 years. There are continuous ladder fuels throughout the community, which can contribute to intense fire behavior. There are a few patch cuts along Cub Creek road on USFS and private land; one is approximately 20 years old with very dense lodgepole regeneration.

Cub Creek

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by thinning trees and disposing of slash. Consider pile burning when conditions are appropriate or chipping slash and dead and down materials. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. Filling ruts and stabilizing erosion gullies are especially recommended. ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Apparatus turnarounds should be constructed at the end of all dead end roads and driveways where they do not already exist. ● Install community cistern at the entrance to the community, at the intersection of Cub Creek and Carol Lane.

Douglass Ranch

Hazard Rating: 69, Moderate Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Cistern, draft pond with dry hydrant at Douglass Ranch Rd.

Description: This community is a relatively new development off of Douglass Ranch Road, near Elk Creek Elementary School. Many homes off of Douglass Ranch Road have fire-resistant siding and roofs. Given that most homes in this community are newer, they have completed defensible space. All roads are paved, most are wide and have several pullouts and turnarounds. Road signs are good, and while all addresses are marked, the signs are inconsistent and often not reflective. There are draft ponds with dry hydrants on Douglass Ranch Road. Response times are short to this area due to good roads and close proximity to Elk Creek Stations 1 and 2. Topography is generally moderate throughout this area, although a few homes in the Douglass Ranch Road area are built on slopes greater than 30%.

Vegetation: Fuels are primarily open-canopy ponderosa stands with a grass understory. In and around the newest home sites, several acres of closed-canopy mixed conifer and dense ponderosa pine have been extensively mitigated, which has significantly reduced fuel loads in recent years. Forested stands are broken by large meadows throughout the area.

Douglass Ranch

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Add reflective address markers to driveways and homes. ● Maintain fuel reduction treatment areas by removing new regeneration and other understory vegetation. ● Complete shaded fuelbreak from Douglas Ranch Road east tot he meadow that borders the Sunset WUI.

Eagle Cliff

Hazard Rating: 82, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? No Water supply: 20,000 and 10,000 gallon cisterns at church on Eagle Cliff Rd, pressurized hydrants at King Sooper’s Center Description: Homes in Eagle Cliff are a mixture of older wood construction and new construction, and development is ongoing. Homes in this community are typically located at the end of long driveways and are not visible from the access road. Many of these driveways are quite narrow and vegetation is encroaching on many driveways and some access roads. However, many properties have recently completed extensive defensible space improvements and stand thinning. Overall, road signage and address markers are good, although some additional address numbers are needed. Access roads are steep and narrow, especially in the northern portion of this community. Station 4 is located in nearby Aspen Park. Topography is gentle to moderate throughout most of the community, but the newer construction is located on steeper slopes of about 30%.

Vegetation: Fuels are highly variable within Eagle Cliff WUI, but are primarily mixed conifer stands with a moderate to heavy understory, although several acres have been extensively thinned recently. Stands of open-canopy ponderosa pine and lodgepole pine are also present. Fuels in this area are broken by large grassy meadows in the middle of the WUI.

Eagle Cliff

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding, roofing, and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally (in and near meadows), and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Add reflective address markers to driveways and homes where they are lacking. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Construct turnarounds at the end of driveways where they do not already exist ● Thin vegetation along access roads and private driveways, particularly along Majestic View and Wild Heart. ● Complete shaded fuelbreak to the west of Eagle Cliff Road, connecting the large meadows. ● Build emergency access/egress route from the end of Wild Heart to Fairall Road in the Hillview WUI.

Elk Falls Ranch

Hazard Rating: 89, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Draft ponds and dry hydrants, drafting from Elk Creek

Description: Elk Falls Ranch is a well-established community that borders Staunton State Park. This community is a recognized FireWise community with ongoing defensible space improvement projects. The subdivision consists of scattered homes on moderate size lots, primarily constructed of wood siding and asphalt roofs. Most of the construction is older and few have adequate defensible space. In general roads are not too steep and surfaces are good, but some are narrow in spots. Pullouts and turnarounds are scarce. Addressing is inconsistent, and streets are marked with wooden signs. Some mitigation work has been done along the roads in this area. This community is greater than five miles from the nearest fire station. The barn at the Davis Ranch is considered a cultural site. There are two dry hydrants in Elk Falls Ranch and it is possible to draft from Elk Creek in some areas. Most homes are built on relatively flat terrain, although the topography is steep just outside the WUI boundary.

Vegetation: Elk Falls Ranch is primarily ponderosa pine woodland with grass understory. Canopy is open in most areas, and there are few ladder fuels. There are some stands of closed canopy mixed conifer, particularly on the steeper north aspects. Riparian shrubs occur in stringers and patches near ponds and streams, however they are unlikely to make a significant contribution to the overall fire behavior of this area. Several acres of forest in Staunton State Park have been mitigated with forest thinning and prescribed fire in recent years, affording the Elk Falls Ranch Community a unique opportunity to tie forest management projects on their private properties to larger project areas.

Elk Falls Ranch

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Add reflective, metal road signs and address markers throughout the community. ● Construct apparatus pullouts along narrow unpaved roads. ● Complete shaded fuelbreak along High View between Berg and Cedar. ● Complete emergency access/egress between Elk Falls Ranch and Woodside WUI communities through the meadow off of Elk Creek Road.

Evergreen Meadows East

Hazard Rating: 68, Moderate Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Ponds at Grey Fox and Evergreen Springs, cistern at Grand Summit

Description: This community is divided between ECFPD and Evergreen FPD. About half of the community has a very suburban look, with few trees and irrigated lawns, and the other half is surrounded by wildland fuels on steep slopes. The homes in the large grassy meadow have defensible space and irrigated grass lawns. Many of the defensible spaces in the more heavily forested portion of this WUI need improvement. However, the newest homes on the east side of the community and on Grand Summit have required defensible space that has been completed. The dominant construction type is wood siding with an asphalt roof, but there are a few homes in this community with wood shake roofs. Homes are close together with most on lots less than one acre. Access roads are good, and street signs are clearly visible. Overall, address numbers are present, but many are not reflective and difficult to read. There are multiple connections to highway 73 from this community. Although this community is more than five miles from the nearest Elk Creek Fire station, response times are short from Evergreen FD. There is a cistern and a large draft pond with a dry hydrant in this community. The topography is gentle in the large meadow, but the slopes exceed 30% on the east end of the WUI.

Vegetation: Vegetation is variable within this WUI. The dominant fuels are short grass and open-canopy conifer stands with grass understory, broken by irrigated lawns and wide roads. In the eastern half of the community, fuels are primarily closed-canopy mixed conifer and dense “dog hair” lodgepole. Some areas around the new construction on Grand Summit have small patch cuts with little vegetation.

Evergreen Meadows East

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Initiate community effort to reach seasonal residents for fuels mitigation ● Thin vegetation along Armadillo Trail, to the meadow to the north in Evergreen FPD.

Evergreen Meadows West

Hazard Rating: 67, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Cistern on Blue Creek Road, Ponds at Grey Fox and Evergreen Springs

Description: This WUI encompasses what was mostly “Valley Hi” in the previous plan, but also includes the meadow area on the west side of Highway 73. This community is divided between ECFPD and Evergreen FPD. About half of the community has a very suburban look, with few trees and irrigated lawns, and the other half is surrounded by wildland fuels on steep slopes. The homes in the large grassy meadow have defensible space and irrigated grass lawns. Many of the defensible spaces in the more heavily forested portion of this WUI need improvement. The dominant construction type is wood siding with an asphalt roofs. Homes are close together with most on lots less than one acre. Access roads are good, and street signs are clearly visible. Although most road surfaces are good, access roads are steep and narrow in some sections. Short loops and dead ends are common. This area has one draft pond (actually in Evergreen Fire Protection District) and a cistern on Blue Creek Road near White Horse Lane. Overall, address numbers are present, and fairly consistent. There are multiple connections to highway 73 from this community. Although this community is more than five miles from the nearest Elk Creek Fire station, response times are short from Evergreen FD. There is a cistern and a large draft pond with a dry hydrant in this community. The topography is gentle in the large meadow, but the slopes exceed 30% on the west end of the WUI.

Vegetation: Vegetation is variable within this WUI. The dominant fuels are short grass and open-canopy ponderosa pine stands with grass understory, broken by irrigated lawns, large pastures, and wide roads. In the western half of the community has some stands of closed-canopy mixed conifer broken by grassy meadows.

Evergreen Meadows West

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally (in meadow areas), and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Thin vegetation along access roads.

Glen Elk

Hazard Rating: 105, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: 18,000 gallon cistern, Pond with Dry Hydrant at Kincaid Springs, and drafting points on Elk Creek

Description: Homes in the central portion of Glen Elk were originally built as summer cabins about 100 years ago. Construction materials are rough cut log or wood siding with tar paper of older asphalt shingle roofs. Many homes have woodpiles and flammable vegetation under decks and against structures. Homes further south in the canyon are newer and most have wood siding with asphalt roofs. This portion of the canyon is quite narrow and steep and several homes can only be accessed by unrated bridges. Very few homes in Glen Elk have any defensible space. There is a new subdivision (Grey Eagle Ranch) platted south of the original portion of Glen Elk, but no homes are built here. The nearest fire station to Grey Eagle is North Fork Station 2 in Pine Grove; however Elk Creek Stations 1 and 2 are approximately 3 miles from Glen Elk. Throughout most of this community the topography of the canyon is quite steep, with slopes greater than 30%.

Vegetation: On steep canyon slopes and north aspects, fuels are predominately heavy loads of mixed conifers, primarily Douglas-fir. The southern portion of the WUI is dominated by open-canopy ponderosa pine woodland, some of which has been extensively mitigated. There are a few small riparian meadows that break up fuel continuity.

Glen Elk

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Conduct a bridge survey to pre-plan which bridges can be safely used by apparatus. ● Turnarounds should be constructed wherever possible at the end of driveways. ● Add reflective addressing to all driveways and homes. ● Create an expanded shaded fuelbreak that connects with the previously completed shaded fuelbreak area on the east side of S. Elk Creek Road. ● Tie forest thinning treatments and shaded fuelbreaks to meadows. ● Add dry hydrant on Elk Creek, off of S. Elk Creek Road.

Green Valley

Hazard Rating: 80, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Ponds on Stagecoach Road, 12,000 gallon cistern on Green Valley Lane

Description: Green Valley contains homes and seasonal cabins of mixed construction types including wood siding and brick wainscoting with metal, asphalt, or wood roofs. There are few properties with conforming defensible space. There are many residences with vegetation touching the structure, and there are man made fuel jackpots within the home ignition zone of several properties. There is evidence on several properties of ongoing active fuels mitigation, and large slash piles have accumulated in some areas. Although most homes are on moderate to large lots, there are some clusters where homes are close together. The primary access roads have good surfaces and are of adequate width, but some driveways and private roads are steep and rutted. There are many dead end roads in this community. Addressing is inconsistent, and most properties need reflective numbers. Response times in Green Valley are short due to the proximity to Station 1. Water sources consist mainly of draft ponds. Given the ongoing mitigation activities, this community would be an ideal candidate to become a FireWise Community.

Vegetation: Vegetation in the area is dominated by closed canopy stands of ponderosa and lodgepole pine. Large meadows create natural breaks the forested fuels, especially in the northern portion of this community. There are several areas with suppressed or declining Aspen that would respond well to thinning.

Green Valley

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability, especially where man made fuels have accumulated. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally (in meadow areas), and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Add reflective addressing to driveways and homes where they are still lacking. ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Complete shaded fuelbreak from the end of Elk and Deer Trails east to Conifer Ridge, in the Richmond Hill WUI. ● Install dry hydrant at the HOA pond.

Hillview

Hazard Rating: 100, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Inter-Canyon FPD cistern and small community cistern on Bobsled Trail.

Description: Only the western part of this community is in Elk Creek FPD; more than half of the residences are in Inter-Canyon FPD. Most homes are wood siding with asphalt roofs and are on moderate to large lots. The main access roads are Hillview and Valley High, which are wide, flat, and paved. The other access roads and long private driveways are generally steep, narrow, and have tight switchbacks. Addressing is inconsistent and there are a several driveways with no visible addressing. There are two cisterns in this community for fire suppression. The one at the end of Hillview Road is in poor condition. Dead end roads with no turnarounds are common. Topography is gentle to moderate in most of the WUI. The northwest portion of the WUI is steeper, with some slopes exceeding 30%.

Vegetation: The area is mostly covered by open meadows and forests dominated by ponderosa pine. Most of the ponderosa pine stands are open canopy with grassy understory. On north-facing slopes, the forests are denser and have a higher percentage of Douglas-fir. Tall shrubs are present in the understory in some stands, which can contribute to intense fire behavior. In the north end of the WUI, there are some stands of decadent lodgepole pine that would benefit from small patch cuts.

Hillview

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability, especially where man made fuels have accumulated. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally (in meadow areas), and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Add reflective addressing to driveways and homes where they are still lacking. ● Thin vegetation along Fairall and Bobsled. ● Connect Fairall to the end of Wild Heart in the Eagle Cliff WUI for a secondary egress.

Holmes Gulch

Hazard Rating: 76, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: ECFPD cistern on Holmes Gulch Way, drafting from S. Platte River

Description: This community is a small portion of the larger community of Burland Ranchettes, the majority of which is in Platte Canyon Fire Protection District (PCFPD). The east and south sides of this WUI community border North Fork FPD. A large portion of Holmes Gulch was severely burned in the Hi-Meadow fire, in which several structures were lost. Although a few homes that were rebuilt after the Hi-Meadow fire have ignition-resistant construction materials, the dominant construction type is wood siding with asphalt roofs. The majority of homes are built on steep slopes down into the valley above the South Platte River. Access roads are unpaved, rough, narrow, and with tight switchbacks. Portions of Holmes Gulch and Cochise are very steep, with grades exceeding 20%. Road signs and addresses are clearly marked for most properties, but some address numbers are absent. There are two historic sites in this area: Cliffdale, which has an historic hotel and post office, and the abandoned railroad town of Crosson’s. Pine Valley Open Space Park borders this WUI to the east. Response times from ECFPD, PCFPD, or NFFPD are likely to be long for this area. This community’s distance to a fire station is greater than five miles. Topography in this area is steep with slopes >30% near most homes.

Vegetation: A large portion of Holmes Gulch was severely burned in the Hi-Meadow fire; therefore the dominant vegetation is short, sparse grasses and woody shrubs. There are areas of heavy fuels in the unburned areas, dominated by closed-canopy ponderosa pine. On north-facing slopes, forest is denser and has a larger percentage of Douglas-fir.

Holmes Gulch

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. This is equally important to homes within the Hi-meadow fire area as homes surrounded by forest. ● Improve or expand defensible space on forested properties by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition, particularly Cochise Trail. ● Thin vegetation along access roads, especially in forested areas of Holmes Gulch Way and along private driveways. ● Add reflective addressing to all driveways and homes where it is lacking.

Jubilee

Hazard Rating: 69, Moderate Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Cistern on Stone Chimney Lane, Dry hydrant off Elk Creek Road

Description: This WUI contains two unconnected roads: Jubilee Road and Stone Chimney Lane. All homes are modern construction with wood siding with an asphalt roof. New homes and structures with recent additions have completed required defensible space. Several of the older homes need defensible space improvements, especially in the more densely forested areas along Stone Chimney Lane. Roads are unpaved, narrow, and steep in spots. Stone Chimney Lane has pullouts constructed. Road signs are good, but address markers are inconsistent and often not reflective. Response times should be good to most of this area due to good roads and close proximity to Elk Creek Stations 1 and 2. Topography is moderate throughout this area, although a few homes on Stone Chimney Lane are built on slopes greater than 30%.

Vegetation: Fuels are primarily open-canopy ponderosa stands with a grass understory. In and around the newest home sites, several acres of closed-canopy mixed conifer and dense ponderosa pine have been extensively mitigated, which has significantly reduced fuel loads in recent years. Forested stands are broken by large meadows throughout the area.

Jubilee

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Add reflective address markers to driveways and homes. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Thin vegetation along access roads, particularly along the heavily forested sections of Stone Chimney Lane. ● Complete shaded fuelbreak on the south end of Jubilee to Pine Valley Road. ● Install one cistern on Jubilee Road.

Kincaid Springs

Hazard Rating: 96, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? No Water supply: Draft pond across S. Elk Creek Road with dry hydrant

Description: The original residences in this area were built as seasonal cabins, but most have been turned into full-time residences. There are also a few new homes in this area. Most homes have wood siding or log construction. Some of the newer homes have asphalt roofs, but tar paper roofs are present on some of the older structures. Although defensible space is minimal on several properties, the fuels around most structures are extensively managed. However, some homes have openings under decks and foundations that would create ember traps, and manmade fuel jackpots are located near many structures. Road and address signs are overall adequate, but several properties still lack reflective or clearly visible numbers. There are no paved roads within the community and the access to many of the residences is steep and narrow. There are few turnarounds and pullouts for apparatus. The nearest fire station is North Fork Station 2 in Pine Grove. Water for fire suppression is located at draft sites on Elk Creek, off of S. Elk Creek Road, and the pond off S. Elk Creek Road has a dry hydrant. Some steep drainages are located within the WUI, but the homes here are built on gentler slopes than in other communities along S. Elk Creek Road. The many lightning-scared trees in Kincaid Springs bear witness to numerous natural ignitions in this area.

Vegetation: The area is mostly covered by forests dominated by ponderosa pine. On north-facing slopes, forest is denser and has a larger percentage of Douglas-fir. Typical of older, well- established WUI communities, there is very little understory vegetation or coarse woody debris on the forest floor, resulting in very light surface fuels. Ponderosa pine canopy is moderately open, and the adjacent Butterfield Ranch has had a shaded fuelbreak and other forest management projects completed nearby. There are some isolated patches of dense seedling tree regeneration in drainages and in areas between properties which will require periodic mitigation.

Kincaid Springs

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by thinning trees near homes and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition ● Construct turnarounds wherever possible at the end of driveways. ● Add vehicle pullouts on Weeping Rock Drive, Kincaid Springs Road and Elk Creek Acres Road. ● Add reflective addressing to all driveways and homes. ● Extend shaded fuelbreak treatments to the adjacent Butterfield Ranch property.

King’s Valley

Hazard Rating: 83, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Pressurized hydrants

Description: The King’s Valley subdivision is the most densely populated WUI area in ECFPD. There is a mixture of older and new homes on small lots in this well-established subdivision. Modern structures with wood siding and asphalt roofs are the dominant construction type. Most homes need defensible space improvements, especially where vegetation is touching the structure. Kings Valley has pressurized hydrants throughout the community. Response times to this area should be quite good considering that Elk Creek Stations 1 and 3 are close by. Roads are in good condition here but there are some steep sections. There are several steep, narrow driveways in the western portion of the community. More than 50% of the homes are located on gently sloping terrain; however, many homes, especially in the northern and western portions of the community, are built on slopes greater than 40%.

Vegetation: The area is predominately open-canopy ponderosa pine, especially in the older, more well-established portions of the subdivision. In many cases, there are irrigated lawns around homes, with little other surface vegetation or ladder fuels. The newer homes on the west side of the WUI have large stands of closed-canopy mixed conifer. On north-facing slopes, the forests are denser and have a higher percentage of Douglas-fir.

King’s Valley

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability, particularly where man made ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash appropriately. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Add reflective addressing to driveways and homes where they are still lacking. ● Thin vegetation along access roads and private driveways, particularly in the western side of the WUI. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition.

Mountain View

Hazard Rating: 104, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Ponds and dry hydrants

Description: This is a high density area where most homes are located on lots of 1 acre or less. There is a mix of old and new construction throughout this community, but wood siding and asphalt roofs are still the dominant construction type. There are some homes in this community with shake roofs. Many homes are located in heavy timber and have trees touching the structure. There are few, if any, defensible spaces in this community. There are some very rough roads in the area and home addresses, and in some cases street signs are difficult to read or missing on several streets and driveways. Portions of Lute’s Road, Dotty Road, and Harmon Road are not passable even with 4WD, and several other roads in very rough condition require 4WD. There are cisterns and draft ponds in this community, in the northwestern portion, but the south and east sides of this community do not have water sources for fire suppression. The community has low to moderate slopes on the south side and in the northeast section of this community the terrain becomes steeper. In the spring of 2011, a small wildfire started by a down power line burned the historic homestead building on Paulette and the vegetation surrounding the property.

Vegetation: The area is mostly covered by forests dominated by ponderosa pine. On north-facing slopes, the forests are denser and have a higher percentage of Douglas-fir. Tall shrubs and sapling trees are present in the understory in some stands, which can contribute to intense fire behavior. Riparian vegetation near the ponds provide natural fuelbreaks.

Mountain View

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability, especially where man made fuels have accumulated. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally (in meadow areas), and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Add reflective addressing to driveways and homes where they are still lacking. ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Complete shaded fuelbreak from Parker Road west to the meadows in the Pine Junction WUI.

Oehlmann Park

Hazard Rating: 96, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Pond with dry hydrant on Oehlman Park Road, pond off Indian Springs Road

Description: This community borders the Hilldale Pines Community in Inter-Canyon FPD. Homes in this community are primarily wood siding or log construction with asphalt roofs, although there are also some old seasonal cabins here. Development is ongoing, and the new homes have required defensible space completed. Road signs are good, but addressing in this area is fair and needs improvement. Oehlman Park Road is paved, wide, and in good condition. The side roads, where most of the homes are located, are narrow, rutted and have vegetation encroaching on them. There are few pullouts or turnarounds. It is possible to escape from Oehlman Park to South Turkey Creek Road by going through Hilldale Pines. There is a pond with a dry hydrant on Oehlman Park Road, which is centrally located for the community, and a pond off of Indian Springs Road. Slopes are generally low to moderate in this community.

Vegetation: The vegetation in Oehlman Park is a mixture of large open meadows, and dense forests dominated by lodgepole pine and mixed conifer. Most of the homes are located in the forested areas. Farther to the east, along Indian Springs, there is more ponderosa pine forest with grassy understory.

Oehlmann Park

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Initiate community effort to reach seasonal residents for fuels mitigation ● Maintain private roads in passable condition ● Thin vegetation along the side access roads, and along Crystal Way into Hilldale Pines.

Piano Meadows

Hazard Rating: 66, Moderate Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Draft ponds, 30,000 gallon community cistern at Piano Meadows Dr and Peak Dr., and numerous private property cisterns

Description: There are only a few homes here now, but all of the lots have been platted and are available for sale. Home site are on large lots (5 to 10 acres). All new construction has required defensible space and some ignition resistant materials have been used in construction. In the older part of Piano Meadows, homes are closer together and on smaller lots. Wood siding and asphalt roof construction is typical. Most homes are constructed on a large flat ridge top, with steep topography on the margins of the WUI. In the newer parts of Piano Meadows, there are several lots that will require steep driveways to access the building pad. Most roads are in good condition except for some portions of Pine Country Lane, which is steep and narrow. Many homes are located on dead end roads. There is an excellent escape route from Piano Meadows into Conifer Meadows located in the north end of the community. This community is located greater than five miles from the nearest fire station. There are a number of water sources for fire suppression throughout Piano Meadows, providing more than 250 gallons per minute for 2 hours. This area borders Reynolds Ranch Open Space Park and Butterfield Ranch, both of which have had fuels mitigation projects completed, affording the Piano meadows community opportunities to extend fuelbreaks on their own properties to larger completed project areas.

Vegetation: The area is mostly covered by forests dominated by closed-canopy mixed conifer and ponderosa pine. On north-facing slopes, the forests are denser and have a higher percentage of Douglas-fir. Along the ridgetop, fuels are lighter and are dominated by grasses and shrubs.

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Thin vegetation along access roads, particularly along Callae. ● Extend shaded fuelbreaks into previously completed thinning projects on adjacent properties.

Pine Junction

Hazard Rating: 72, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Numerous cisterns (100,000+ gallons)

Description: This is a relatively densely populated community just north of highway 285. This WUI also includes the new Lion’s Head and Bear Ranch subdivisions where development is ongoing, and several vacant lots are for sale. Homes in Pine Junction are variable in age and construction materials. Most have wood siding and asphalt roofs, but many homes are constructed with fire-resistant siding. Defensible space is also highly variable; about half of the homes have less than 30 feet of defensible space, and the other half has more than 70 feet. Several properties need improvements to the home ignition zone, especially where man made fuel jackpots have accumulated. Roads are in good condition overall and are not as steep as most of the communities in ECFPD, however vehicle pullouts and turnarounds are scarce. Choctaw Drive is currently very rough, and needs resurfacing. Some properties lack address numbers. Response times are short due the close proximity of Station 2. There are numerous Cisterns in Pine Junction near Highway 285, providing more than 100,000 gallons of water for fire suppression. Slopes are mostly low to moderate in this WUI, but steep hillsides and draws are common near homes in the northern portion of this community.

Vegetation: The majority of Pine Junction is open-canopy ponderosa pine woodland with grassy understory. Forest fuels are broken by large meadows and horse pastures. The northern portion of the WUI has dense mixed conifer forest; however several acres along Iroquois Trail have been extensively mitigated in recent years.

Pine Junction

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability, especially where man made fuels have accumulated. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally (in meadow areas), and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Add reflective addressing to driveways and homes where they are still lacking. ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Complete shaded fuelbreak northwest of Iroquois Trail, from the meadow east to Parker Road in the Mountain View WUI. ● Improve surface of Choctaw Drive ● Complete shaded fuelbreak from Pine Junction commercial area at PCR 74 and Highway 285, west across Wandcrest Avenue to the meadow in the Lion’s Head subdivision.

Pine Meadows

Hazard Rating: 54, Moderate Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Sprinkler systems on homes, cisterns on Reserve and Quandary Peak

Description: This WUI consists of two new housing developments built after the Hi Meadow fire in 2000: The Preserve at Pine Meadows and The Reserve at Brock Ranch, which has been platted but not developed yet. The homes built here were designed to conform to FireWise design and construction practices. Homes are built with fire resistant materials and roofs are Class A rated asphalt or metal. All homes have sprinkler systems, and there are three existing community cisterns. Response time is short from Elk Creek Station 2 in Pine. Roads are paved with several pullouts, but several of the roads are very narrow, often less than 20 feet. Defensible space around homes often exceeds 100 feet, due to light fuels and extensive mitigation. Road signs and address numbers are present, but none of the signs are reflective. Several homes are built in or near steep draws and chimneys with slopes greater than 30%. Maintenance of fuels mitigation in these areas will be of critical importance in the coming years.

Vegetation: The majority of this WUI was severely burned during the Hi-Meadow fire and is now characterized by short, sparse grass and shrubs. There are also areas that experienced less intense fire behavior, where vegetation is open-canopy ponderosa pine woodland with grassy understory. In unburned areas, heavy regeneration of conifers and tall shrub understory has closed the forest canopy of what was formerly open ponderosa pine woodland.

Pine Meadows

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally (in meadow areas), and disposing of slash. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition ● Thin vegetation along access roads in unburned forested areas, particularly along Wetterhorn Peak and Quandary Peak Roads. ● Widen main access roads where possible, and add additional vehicle pullouts.

Pine Valley Ranch

Hazard Rating: 65, Moderate Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Cistern at North Fork Station 2

Description: This community is composed primarily of scattered homes on large lots (some up to 200 acres). Most of this community is in the Hi-Meadow burn area. There are several post-fire rebuilds mixed with some older residences that survived the fire. The dominant construction type is wood siding with an ignition resistant roof. Most homes have large defensible space areas because they are located in the severely burned area that still has very light vegetation. Defensible space still needs to be improved in the forested areas of the community, particularly along Ouray Road. Roads are steep in places but in good condition. There are some homes in the western end of this community that are accessed by long driveways which are rough and narrow. Pullouts and turnarounds on the west side are scarce and Cochise Trail becomes a rough narrow track west of the intersection with Sioux Road. Many homes on Cochise may have long response times. The nearest fire station is North Fork Station 2 in Pine Grove, and its cistern is the only water supply for Pine Valley Ranch. The general topography is steep, with many homes built on slopes greater than 30%.

Vegetation: Most of Pine Valley Ranch was severely burned in the Hi-Meadow fire; therefore the dominant vegetation is short, sparse grasses and woody shrubs. There are areas open-canopy ponderosa pine in the southwest portion of the WUI, especially along Ouray Road.

Pine Valley Ranch

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. This is equally important to homes within the Hi-meadow fire area as homes surrounded by forest. ● Improve or expand defensible space on forested properties by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition, particularly Cochise Trail. ● Thin vegetation along access roads, especially in forested areas of Ouray Road and along private driveways. ● Add reflective addressing to all driveways and homes where it is lacking. ● Install large community cistern in Swiss Village. ● Implement and maintain erosion control measures on Ouray Road.

Richmond Hill

Hazard Rating: 66, Moderate Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Draft pond on Baird Road and cisterns

Description: Most homes are widely spaced on moderate to large lots. Construction is very mixed in this community. There are old seasonal cabins with log construction and flammable roofing materials, and large new homes with ignition resistant materials. The dominant construction type is wood siding with an asphalt roof. Some homes, especially the newer ones, have adequate defensible space. In general, access roads are wide with good surfaces. However, there are many long driveways, some of which are narrow, lack pullouts and turnarounds and/or have vegetation encroaching. There are multiple routes to escape this community. The water supply is good in Richmond Hill, with several cisterns. Response times are short due to the close proximity of Station 1. Overall, the topography is gentle to moderate.

Vegetation: Vegetation is highly variable in the Richmond Hill WUI. There are stands of closed-canopy mixed conifer with heavy regeneration and understory plants, open- canopy ponderosa with grass understory, pure lodgepole and aspen stands, and large grassy meadows.

Richmond Hill

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Thin vegetation along access roads where it has not yet been completed. ● On smaller parcels, create small patch cut openings where Aspen saplings are growing, to encourage the reestablishment of Aspen groves. ● Complete shaded fuelbreak from Conifer Ridge Road west to Deer Trail in the Green Valley WUI. ● Install dry hydrant in pond on Baird Road

Ridge Road

Hazard Rating: 81, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Cisterns

Description: Ridge Road has low housing density where most lots are greater than 5 acres. Homes are modern construction, with wood siding and asphalt roofs. Some mitigation work has been completed in this community. Access roads are wide and well marked. Most homes are located up long driveways and private roads (community driveways). Some of the private roads and long driveways are narrow and have heavy vegetation encroaching on them. This community is greater than five miles from the nearest fire station. There are a number of horse properties and a riding arena in this community, so animal evacuation may be an issue in a wildfire. There are three cisterns in this community. The topography is gentle to moderate near the majority of the homes.

Vegetation: Vegetation is a mixture of large grassy meadows and dense closed-canopy mixed conifer and decadent lodgepole. Several areas have suppressed or declining Aspen groves that would benefit from thinning and small patch cuts.

Ridge Road

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. This applies to homes in open meadows as well as homes surrounded by forest. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally (in meadow areas), and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Add reflective addressing to all driveways and homes where it is lacking. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Complete shaded fuelbreak along Ridge Road to connect large meadows. ● Install community cistern at the intersection of Ridge and Upper Ridge Roads.

Rim Rock

Hazard Rating: 61, Moderate Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Hydrants in Will O’ Wisp

Description: This community is located in a relatively open area near Highway 285 on the border with Platte Canyon FPD. Most homes are constructed with wood siding and asphalt roofs. Most of the roads are wide and in good condition, but there are a few rough, narrow driveways. Most driveways are short compared to the majority of communities in ECFPD. Missing and inadequate address markers are common. Response times to Rim Rock are short considering the close proximity to Station 2 and the Platte Canyon station 2. There is no water for fire suppression in Rim Rock, but there are several pressurized hydrants nearby in the Will O’ Wisp community, which is directly across Highway 285. Topography near the highway, where most of the homes are located, is gently sloping, but slopes are steeper to the north.

Vegetation: The dominant vegetation is grassy meadows with some woody shrubs. There are also large stands of Open-canopy ponderosa pine with grass. Fuels in the northern portion of Rim Rock are broken by large rock outcroppings.

Rim Rock

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability.

Shadow Mountain

Hazard Rating: 94, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Small cisterns

Description: This moderate-density subdivision has homes are on 1-3 acre lots. Homes in this area are primarily modern construction with wood siding and asphalt roofs. The average age (10-30 years) and construction type of residences is similar throughout the area. Future development is likely in this WUI, resulting in greater housing density. Few homes have adequate defensible space considering the steep slopes near most homes. Many are constructed mid-slope in moderately dense fuels. Access to many homes, particularly those off of Black Widow, would be difficult due to steep, narrow driveways. Roads are mostly in good condition, but there are still many steep narrow driveways and rough unpaved private roads. Many homes are not visible from the access road, but reflective address numbers are common here. There are three small cisterns in this WUI, and a potential drafting point at the south end of the WUI, off of Shadow Mountain Road. Response times are long to this area, especially off of Warhawk Drive. Homes built on or near slopes greater than 30% are common, and some are located on slopes greater than 40%.

Vegetation: The area is mostly covered by dense mixed conifer forests. Fuel loads are heavy and continuous throughout the area. The area large areas of dense “dog-hair” lodgepole pine forests. Some small meadows break up the continuous forest fuels, and there are extensive areas where additional cutting would release suppressed or declining aspen groves.

Shadow Mountain

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees and disposing of slash appropriately. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Complete shaded fuelbreak to connect meadows north of the intersection of Corsair and Warhawk. ● On smaller parcels, create small patch cut openings where Aspen saplings are growing, to encourage the reestablishment of Aspen groves. ● Build emergency egress road from Stephens Road in the Conifer Mountain WUI to Beaver Pond. ● Install at least one large cistern on South Warhawk Road, Bearcat Trail, Marauder Drive, or Corsair Drive.

Shiloh

Hazard Rating: 93, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Cisterns, draft pond

Description: Shiloh is a moderately densely populated community with most homes located on lots of about 1 or 2 acres. Wood siding with an asphalt roof is the dominant construction type. Newer homes with ignition resistant materials represent a small percentage of the homes. Many homes have unenclosed decks that could trap embers. About 50% of the properties have inadequate defensible space. Many homes are located on steep slopes greater than 30%. There one cistern in the north end and one in the south end of Shiloh. Additional water for fire suppression would most likely come from cisterns located in the neighboring Piano Meadows subdivision. The nearest fire station is Station 1 in Conifer. Although access roads are wide with good surfaces and adequate pullouts, many driveways are steep, narrow and at tight angles from the road. Primary access roads cross steep draws with heavy fuel loads.

Vegetation: The area is mostly covered by forests dominated by closed-canopy mixed conifer and ponderosa pine. On north-facing slopes, the forests are denser and have a higher percentage of Douglas-fir. Along ridgetops, fuels are lighter and are dominated by short grasses and tall woody shrubs.

Shiloh

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Thin forest canopy to tie into areas of lighter fuels throughout the community. ● There are four streets named Shiloh in this WUI: Shiloh Road, Drive, Circle and Lane. Existing street and address signs should be replaced with ones that more clearly show the different street names, especially where common private driveways intersect the main access road. ● Install a centrally located community cistern on Rampart Lane, Rampart Road, or Shiloh Drive.

Silver Ranch Estates

Hazard Rating: 96, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Draft ponds on Silver Ranch Rd, 12,000 gallon cistern on Silver Ranch Road, cistern on Wild Trout

Description: This community consists of a mixture of older and new construction on moderate to large sized lots. Wood siding and asphalt roofs are the most common home construction materials. Most homes need significant defensible space improvements. Roads are narrow and steep. Addressing is present, but few address signs are fire resistant and reflective. There is heavy vegetation encroaching on some access roads. The community is five miles from the nearest fire station, which is Inter-Canyon Station 2. Two ponds on private property provide water for fire suppression. Slopes are generally moderate to steep, and drainages with heavy fuel loads cross through the area.

Vegetation: The area is mostly covered by forests dominated by closed-canopy ponderosa pine and mixed conifer. On north-facing slopes, the forests are denser and have a higher percentage of Douglas-fir. Heavy regeneration, coarse woody debris, and large amounts of standing dead are common in many stands, which can contribute to intense fire behavior. The small ponds and riparian meadows around them provide a small natural fuelbreak.

Silver Ranch Estates

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees and disposing of slash appropriately. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Complete forest thinning and fuels reduction in areas with heavy regeneration, slash, and standing dead. ● Complete small patch cut openings in the southern portion of the WUI where Aspen saplings are growing, to encourage the reestablishment of Aspen groves. ● Build emergency egress road from Gold Spur to Upper Ridge Road in the Upper Ridge Road WUI.

Silver Springs

Hazard Rating: 75, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Cisterns

Description: Most of the original homes n Silver Springs were built as seasonal cabins and converted later to year-round residences. There are also newer homes in interspersed with the older cabins. Most homes are on small lots. The dominant construction type is wood siding with asphalt roofs, but there are some flammable tar paper roofs on a few older cabins. There are several homes with good defensible space in this community due to light fuels; however several homes in the heavier fuels at the southern end of the area do not have any defensible space. Some access roads are in poor condition, rough and narrow with few turnarounds. Cypress Avenue is now a dead-end; a large fence was recently erected across the area where the road used to go through. Street signs and addressing are good overall. There are several cisterns that should provide an adequate supply for fire suppression. Response to this area should be fast considering the close proximity and easy access to Station 2. Topography is low to moderate throughout most of the WUI. There is an old cemetery located here, which is of historical value to the area.

Vegetation: The vegetation in Silver Springs are open canopy conifer stands with grass understory. The south end of this community has heavy continuous loads of closed canopy conifer and there are some aspen stands along Wandcrest Road. There are several large grass meadows in Silver Springs that break up the forest stands and provide natural fuelbreaks.

Silver Springs

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Add reflective addressing to all driveways and homes where it is lacking.

Sphinx Park

Hazard Rating: 113, Extreme Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Drafting points on Elk Creek

Description: This 19th century summer resort community still has many of the original structures, where many residents now live year-round. Homes in this area are located on very small lots, in close proximity to one another. Although there is some new construction in the area, the dominant construction type is rough cut timber and wood siding. The water system for most of these residences is spring fed and low pressure. There are a number of residences that can only be accessed by unrated bridges. Topography throughout the area is steep with slopes of greater than 50% common. Many of the homes are located at the middle or top of these slopes. Very few properties have defensible space. Both Schulyer Gulch Road and Old Stage Coach Road are very steep and narrow, and would not be accessible with large engines. There are no pullouts for vehicles and few turn-arounds. The closest fire station is North Fork Station 2 in Pine Grove. The water available for fire suppression is Elk Creek, which can be accessed from a few draft points. Given the steep, hazardous terrain throughout the WUI, fuels mitigation would be difficult.

Vegetation: The dominant fuel type is closed canopy ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir mix. Ridge tops and south-facing slopes have open-canopy ponderosa pine woodlands with low understory. Although fuels throughout the WUI are broken by large rock outcroppings, fuels near homes and along Elk Creek are continuous.

Sphinx Park

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space where possible by limbing and/or thinning trees and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Initiate community effort to reach seasonal residents for fuels mitigation ● Maintain private roads in passable condition ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Widen and improve access road surfaces where possible to make all condition access at least 20 feet wide for passenger cars, add pullouts for emergency apparatus, and construct turnarounds at the end of all dead end roads. ● Add reflective addressing to all driveways and homes. ● Conduct a bridge survey to pre-plan which bridges can be safely used by apparatus. ● At least one large cistern should be added near the top of Schulyer Gulch Road or Old Stage Road. ● Install dry hydrant on South Elk Creek road for drafting from the creek.

Sunset

Hazard Rating: 76, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? No Water supply: Dry hydrant in pond at Elk Creek

Description: Most of Sunset consists of residences and ranches on large lots. Homes are widely spaced and although wood siding and asphalt roofs are the dominant construction type, there are a few homes with shake roofs in this community. Although some maps show Sunset Trail connecting to Wamblee Valley Road, it does not go through and this community is one way in and out. Access roads are generally wide and in good condition, but many homes are located at the end of long narrow driveways with encroaching vegetation. Many of the homes and driveways have inadequate address markers. Topography is moderate to steep and ravines and dangerous topographic features exist throughout the area.

Vegetation: The majority of Sunset is open-canopy ponderosa pine woodland with grassy understory. There has been extensive mitigation throughout this WUI area. Forest fuels are broken by large short grass meadows and horse pastures.

Sunset

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. This applies to homes in open meadows as well as homes surrounded by forest. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally (in meadow areas), and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Initiate community effort to reach seasonal residents for fuels mitigation ● Maintain private roads in passable condition ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Install dry hydrant at Elk Creek and Sunset ● Install centrally located community cistern, a possible location would be at the intersection of Sunset and Wapiti. ● Connect private driveway off Sunset Drive (off Wamblee Valley Road in Wamblee Valley WUI) to the end of Sunset Drive to create an emergency egress for both communities.

Swiss Village

Hazard Rating: 81, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Cistern at North Fork Station 2

Description: Homes in Swiss Village are a mixture of older and new construction, with wood siding with asphalt roofs on moderate size lots. Despite portions of this community being within the Hi-Meadow fire area, several homes need defensible space. Roads are mostly wide and on good condition, but some roads and driveways are steep. The emergency egress route into Amerind Springs needs some improvement and vegetation clearing. Most homes have reflective addressing in this community. Response times are short from North Fork Station 2 in Pine Grove. Slopes in this area are moderate, but a few homes are built on slopes that are greater than 30%.

Vegetation: The area is mostly covered by forests dominated by ponderosa pine. Portions of this WUI were burned in the Hi-Meadow fire. Most of these areas were low- severity fire that stayed in the forest understory. Understory vegetation is very light in most places, with most slash and large woody debris removed from properties. On north- facing slopes, the forests are denser and have a higher percentage of Douglas-fir.

Swiss Village

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. This is equally important to homes within the Hi-meadow fire area as homes surrounded by forest. ● Improve or expand defensible space on forested properties by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Install Large community cistern at intersection of Swiss Village and Highway 126 (Pine Valley Road). ● Work with private property owner to improve and maintain emergency egress route from Swiss Village into Amerind Springs.

Upper Ridge Road

Hazard Rating: 88, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Cistern on Lost Horizon

Description: This is an isolated community of low housing density on large lots. Homes are primarily large structures, and the dominant construction type is wood siding with an asphalt roof. Access roads are narrow and steep in spots. Most of the homes are located up long driveways and private roads (community driveways) with heavy vegetation encroaching, and homes are not visible from the main access roads. Several homes in densely forested stands do not have adequate defensible space considering the steep slopes near the structure. The topography is moderate to steep, however there are some areas of relatively flat terrain along ridge tops in the meadows.

Vegetation: The area is mostly covered by forests dominated by closed-canopy ponderosa pine and mixed conifer. On north-facing slopes, the forests are denser and have a higher percentage of Douglas-fir. Forested areas are broken by large meadows.

Upper Ridge Road

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. This applies to homes in open meadows and homes surrounded by forest. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally (in meadow areas), and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Add reflective addressing to all driveways and homes where it is lacking. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Complete shaded fuelbreak along Upper Ridge Road and private driveways to connect large meadows on ridge tops. ● Install community cistern at the intersection of Ridge and Upper Ridge Roads. ● Build emergency egress road from Upper Ridge Road to Gold Spur to in the Silver Ranch Estates WUI. ● Maintain two-track road to Kuehster Rd from the end of Upper Ridge Rd as an emergency egress route.

Wamblee Valley

Hazard Rating: 75, High Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Cistern at Station 1, pond at Coyote Song

Description: There is a mix of old and new construction in Wamblee Valley. Most homes are wood siding or heavy timber construction with asphalt roofs. Homes are on large to very large lots. Some access roads in this community are steep, rutted and difficult to navigate. There are several long community driveways off Wamblee Valley road. Addressing is inconsistent throughout Wamblee Valley. Although this community is directly across Highway 285 from Station 1, it is a long distance to the south end of this community and response times may be longer than expected due to the condition of most driveways and difficulty locating some residences. There are several water sources in the neighboring community of Richmond Hill, in addition to the cistern at Station 1 and the pond on Coyote Song. Although it is shown as connecting on maps Sunset Trail does not connect to the Sunset community. The only way in or out of Wamblee Valley is via Wamblee Valley Road. There is a CSFS thinning project along Wamblee Valley Road that should be continued to the southern end of this community to slow the spread of fire and improve access safety. There is an old cemetery at the end of Memorial Parkway, which is of historic value to the area.

Vegetation: The dominant fuel type is open-canopy ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir mix. On north-facing slopes, the forests are denser and have a higher percentage of Douglas-fir. Several acres have had forest thinning completed, which has significantly reduced the continuity of hazardous fuels in this area. Large meadows and horse pastures also provide natural fuelbreaks.

Wamblee Valley

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. This applies to homes in open meadows as well as homes surrounded by forest. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Connect private driveway off of Wamblee Valley Road to the end of Sunset Drive in the neighboring Sunset WUI to create an emergency egress for both communities. ● Install community cistern at the intersection Wamblee Valley Road and Wamblee Trail. ● Install dry hydrant in pond on Coyote Song.

Wandcrest

Hazard Rating: 115, Extreme Does the community have dual access/egress roads? No Water supply: 6000 gallon cistern at Garfield

Description: Most homes are modern construction, with wood siding and class-A asphalt roofs. A few homes are older cabins with unrated roofs and rough cut timber siding. Streets signs and addressing are adequate, but some residences are not clearly marked with address numbers. There is currently one road to access the community, and many roads are narrow and steep. The area is flanked by two steep canyons, making the development of a secondary egress difficult and costly. Whispering Pines Road has tight, steep switchbacks that cannot be accessed with large engines. Persistence Road dead- ends without a turnaround. The nearest fire station is in Pine Junction. Many properties would benefit from improvements to the home ignition zone, particularly where man- made fuel jackpots have accumulated. Many of the older structures are located on the flat ridge in the center of the WUI, along Wandcrest Drive. However, most of the newer homes are built on slopes greater than 30%, and lack adequate defensible space.

Vegetation: Fuels near homes are primarily heavy loads of mixed conifers on steep slopes. Some portions of the WUI are characterized by open canopy ponderosa pine with low understory, particularly in the older, more established portions of the community and where required defensible space for new construction has been completed. The southwest corner of Wandcrest was severely burned during the Hi-Meadow fire and is now characterized by short, sparse grass and shrubs. On south-facing slopes, heavy regeneration of conifers has closed the forest canopy of what was formerly open ponderosa pine woodland.

Wandcrest

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Replace older non-rated roofing materials with Class A roofing materials. ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Connect the lower switchbacks on Whispering Pines Lane to create a road loop. ● Widen and improve access road surfaces where necessary to make all condition access at least 20 feet wide for passenger cars, add pullouts for emergency apparatus, and construct turnarounds at the end of all dead end roads, particularly along Whispering Pines Dr. and Persistence Road. ● One 30,000 gallon cistern should be added near the new development on the east side of Wandcrest.

Will ‘O Wisp

Hazard Rating: 60, Moderate Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Pressurized hydrants, water treatment pond

Description: Will `O Wisp is located on the boundary between ECFPD and Platte Canyon FPD, and has homes in both districts. Construction here is modern, with wood siding and asphalt roofs. Most homes in the central part of this community have defensible space due to light fuels. A few homes on the easternmost edge of the community are located in heavier fuels and steeper slopes. Roads and driveways are in good condition. This area has pressurized hydrants and there is a water treatment plant with ponds at the south end of Will O Wisp. There is a good escape route into Roland Valley from the southern end of Wisp Creek Drive. Response times are short due to the close proximity of Elk Creek Station 2 and Platte Canyon Station 2. Slopes are low to moderate.

Vegetation: Lots are cleared of most fuels other than short grass and ornamental plantings and in some cases the homes have irrigated lawns. Riparian vegetation near the ponds provides natural fuelbreaks. There are stands of open canopy ponderosa pine with grass understory in the western and southern portions of the WUI.

Woodside

Hazard Rating: 66, Moderate Does the community have dual access/egress roads? Yes Water supply: Cisterns, dry hydrants, draft ponds

Description: Woodside is less densely populated than the neighboring community of Mountain View. Most homes are on moderate sized lots. Home construction is primarily wood siding with asphalt roofs. Few homes have defensible space. Roads are in good condition, but there are some narrow driveways with vegetation encroaching. Although there is only one way in and out of Woodside, it is possible to escape this community to S. Elk Creek Road through a meadow on private property. There is an emergency egress route from PCFPD through Hidden Valley Ranch to Mount Evans Boulevard, but would more likely be used by residents evacuating to the east from PCFPD. There are numerous water sources in Woodside. There are several horse properties here, so animal evacuation could be an issue in a wildfire. Slopes are low to moderate throughout most of the community.

Vegetation: The area is mostly covered by forests dominated by ponderosa pine. On north-facing slopes, the forests are denser and have a higher percentage of Douglas-fir and other conifer species. Some areas have heavy regeneration in the understory, and these stands would benefit from extensive thinning from below. Most areas around homes have few ladder or surface fuels, but defensible space is minimal on most properties. The northwest and southwest portions of the WUI have large meadows that create good natural fuelbreaks.

Woodside

Recommendations: ● For all homes, make improvements within the home ignition zone to reduce structure ignitability. ● Reduce percentage of combustible siding and decking on homes. ● Improve or expand defensible space by limbing and/or thinning trees, mowing seasonally, and disposing of slash. ● Enclose open areas below decks and structures to prevent embers from collecting in ignitable areas. ● Maintain private roads in passable condition. ● Thin vegetation along access roads. ● Complete shaded fuelbreak along private ranch roads in the western side of the WUI; tie into large meadows to the north and south. ● Replace old and deteriorating community cisterns. ● Complete emergency access/egress between Woodside and Elk Falls Ranch through the meadow to S. Elk Creek Road.
