BROOMFIELD, CO ~ BROOMFIELD, CO - The Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control (DFPC) held a briefing today to discuss the state's 2025 Wildfire Preparedness Plan with Governor Jared Polis. Along with DFPC Director Mike Morgan and other state and federal partners, they discussed the 2025 wildfire outlook and the resources available to combat wildfires in Colorado.
According to the outlook, current forecasts show that normal fire potential is expected across most of Colorado from April through July. However, southwestern Colorado is expected to have above normal fire potential due to ongoing drought conditions and anticipated hot, dry weather before the monsoon season arrives. Southeast Colorado will also see increased large fire potential during the pre-green-up period through April.
Governor Polis expressed his concern for the impact of devastating wildfires in Colorado and emphasized the importance of implementing effective mitigation efforts to prevent them. He also highlighted the need for resources to support firefighters when a wildfire does occur. The governor acknowledged that wildfire season is year-round and stressed the significance of mitigation efforts and investments in new technology, aerial equipment, and first responders for the safety of the entire state. He also expressed concern over federal cuts to wildfire services and urged the administration to work with states on this issue.
