The Marshall Fire has homeowners and firefighters thinking more about the urban wildland fire interface.
– Smoke and fire rose from the grasslands of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge again Friday as firefighters worked a controlled burn.
“It’s a good time to look at those areas and start making plans to remove some of those fuels,” said Finnegan.“In reality, as we’ve seen it’s also a high fire danger area as well,” said Finnegan. “It’s that fine balance between beauty, privacy, natural resource benefits.”“Trash cans, patio furniture, cushions, and that compact distance between homes was the big one… The homes became a whole other fuel model as they exposed home to home to home.
At the wildlife refuge, fire does the work it has always done, reducing fuels and helping to open some fire-dependent grass seeds. But it’s carefully controlled.
