Colorado Springs Fire Department Receiving Grant to Prevent Wildfires

The Colorado Springs Fire Department is getting a grant from Allstate to help prevent wildfires.

The $24,000 grant will help match the cost to reduce wildfire risk in the Erindale, Pinecliff, Pulpit Rock and University Park neighborhoods. 

Mitigation efforts will include removing items that could fuel a wildfire within 30 feet of a home in those areas.
