DENVER ~ Governor Polis issued an Executive Order today to ensure disaster funding remains available for five fires from 2020, and to encumber additional funding for the Lefthand Fire in Boulder County from 2020.

The Executive Order amends the duration provisions for funding for five fires from 2020, including the Grizzly Creek Fire in Garfield and Eagle Counties, Cameron Peak Fire in Larimer County, Mullen Fire in Jackson County, East Troublesome Fire in Grand County, and Calwood Fire in Boulder County. These fires were all declared disaster emergencies in 2020 with encumbered disaster emergency funds. The Executive Order extends the duration of these funds for an additional 36 months, so that they shall remain available until 2026. This will enable State agencies to coordinate and complete fire billing and reimbursement processes with affected local and federal agencies.
