Remembering the Marshall Fire
On December 30, 2021, the Marshall Fire affected Louisville, Superior and unincorporated Boulder County. Boulder County’s recovery record documents the loss and damage to homes and businesses. For many Front Range residents, this is personal history. A useful discussion begins with respect for those communities and practical decisions a property owner can make today.
A December event matters to planning
The date is a reminder to keep preparedness connected to conditions rather than assuming concern ends with summer. It does not establish the likelihood of a future fire at a particular address. Historical incident pages also contain recovery information that may be updated years later; use current local alerts for present conditions.
Distinguish open-space edges from wooded foothills
A home adjoining an open field and a home beneath a wooded slope should not receive the same proposal solely because both are on the Front Range. Show the vegetation actually present, its relationship to the building and the work already completed. A local assessment can help connect those observations to defensible-space and home-improvement priorities.
Define where treatment fits
WTG reviews suitable vegetation for planned Komodo ground pretreatment. Begin with specific locations you want considered and ask how application would fit alongside maintenance and home hardening. A clear proposal identifies the included area and preparation, making the service easier to evaluate within your wider property budget.
Turn concern into a specific next step
Send your address, current photos and a short description of your priorities. Share relevant local recommendations if you have them. The Marshall Fire is context for preparedness, not evidence that WTG or Komodo would have prevented losses there. A responsible treatment conversation focuses on the service that can be defined for your property now.
