FIRE: Colorado wildfire officials expect a hot, dry summer to translate into an active fire season statewide this year but a moist spring in southwest Colorado may be good news for the early part of the summer.
Wildfire specialists are especially concerned about areas west of the Continental Divide, including Durango. Pam Wilson, fire information office for the U.S. Forest Service in Durango, said that local agencies are expecting an "average to above average season."
An additional $3.5 million has been added to Colorado's wildfire plan. This will allow for three single engine tanker planes to remain on call in strategic fire areas throughout the fire season. The money will also provide ten fire engines that will be posted in "red zones" at the wildland urban interface where dwellings are in immediate danger.
