🔥 Heads Up, Conifer Fire District Residents 🔥

We are now under another RED FLAG WARNING.

We know - it’s been a stretch of repeated Red Flag Warnings, and it can start to feel routine or easy to tune out.

This one matters. Conditions remain serious, and they are not improving.

What we’re seeing right now:
• Unseasonably warm temperatures (near record highs for March)
• Very low humidity - dropping into the single digits during the day
• Poor overnight recovery, meaning fuels are not regaining moisture overnight
• Dry vegetation (fuels) that can ignite easily and spread fire quickly

Saturday is a big concern:
• Temperatures in the mid-70s
• Relative humidity as low as 5–6%
• Wind gusts up to 30 mph

‼️ These conditions combine to create widespread critical fire weather

These are the kinds of conditions that firefighters pay especially close attention to.

Even when winds are lighter, the combination of heat and extremely dry air means fires can start easily and spread quickly.

📊 We’ve included a weather graphic below. It’s a bit more technical, but it gives a glimpse into the conditions firefighters are watching behind the scenes.

What this means for our community:

Please don’t let the repetition of these warnings lower your guard;
this is exactly when vigilance matters most.
• Avoid any activities that could spark a fire
• Use caution with equipment, trailers, and anything that could generate heat or sparks

Even a small ignition could have serious consequences under these conditions.

We will be closely monitoring conditions through the weekend.

Please stay alert and wildfire aware!

2026 Chipping Program Details

✅ 2026 chipping program sign-up will open on Friday, March 6 at 9:00am.

✅ To be eligible, you must already have received a Wildfire Prepared home assessment from the fire district.

✅ On March 6th, those who have had an assessment will receive an email directly from the fire district with a private link for the sign up. Those individuals will have 1 week to sign up.

✅ Our capacity is limited and we cannot provide chipping for everyone. We suggest you try to sign up as early as possible.

✅ From the list of residents that actually sign up, we will randomly pick 100 addresses to receive chipping.

✅ All who signed up will be notified if they have been selected or not, and those who have will be given further information about the process.

✅ Sharing your sign-up link is not allowed and will result in you becoming ineligible for future chipping opportunities.

✅ Program rules and pile guidelines remain the same and can be found on the fire districts websites.

For further information on our neighborhood approach and more 2026 Chipping Program details and FAQs, please go to the link in the comments.

🌟 Happy Holidays from the Conifer Wildland Division 🌟

As we close our 12 Days of Wildfire Resilience, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped strengthen wildfire preparedness in the Conifer area this year, and to all of you who followed along with this series and took time to learn, reflect, and celebrate with us.

To our Community Ambassadors - thank you for being the bridge between neighbors and wildfire readiness. Your leadership, kindness, and dedication are the heartbeat of resilience in our community.

To our Fuels Crew - thank you for your year-round work on the land and on the front lines, protecting communities through response, mitigation, and science-based planning.

To our residents - thank you for showing up, asking questions, working together, and taking meaningful steps to protect your homes and neighborhoods.

Together, we built something powerful in 2025:
🌲 safer communities
🔥 stronger connections
❤️ a more wildfire-resilient future

From all of us at the Conifer Wildland Division, we wish you a safe, healthy, and happy holiday season, and we look forward to continuing this work together in the year ahead.

🎁 On the twelfth day of Wildfire Resilience, our Ambassadors gave to us… themselves.

Behind every conversation, every event, every workday, and every milestone are real people - neighbors who show up, listen, learn, and care deeply about this community.

Our Community Ambassadors are the bridge between wildfire information and action. They answer questions, bring people together, support neighbors, and help turn concern into preparedness, often with a smile and always with heart.

Today, we’re celebrating them: their time, their energy, their leadership, and the connections they’ve helped build across the Conifer area.
