Following the historic Cameron Peak and Marshall fires in Colorado, many communities and their fire departments are on heightened awareness when it comes to dry and windy days.
The Cameron Peak Fire in 2020, Colorado’s largest fire in recorded history, was largely fueled by dry conditions and wind gusts.

They make a phone call into the department.”
Loveland Fire, on windy days, also doubles down their resources for calls involving grass and wild fires. When dispatched to a grass or wild fire the department automatically dispatches out two different engines to respond instead of the single engine they would send to most other calls.
