BROOMFIELD — Gov. Jared Polis warned Coloradans on Thursday that there is a “significantly increased risk” of wildfire along the Front Range and in western Colorado this summer, particularly in June and July.
“We need to prepare,” Polis, flanked by the state’s top firefighters, said at a news conference in Broomfield where he unveiled the state’s annual wildfire forecast.
The governor said the drought this year, paired with the long-term consequences of a changing climate and the growing number of people moving into wildfire-prone areas, is making Colorado particularly susceptible.
Polis told Coloradans to be extra vigilant and proclaimed May wildfire awareness month.
