Wildfire Prevention and Awareness Information
We would like to remind our residents to take time to think about your emergency plan, what steps you can take to reduce wildfire risk and to be prepared for wildfire season in Colorado. The majority of our neighborhood is in a moderate risk zone, with some areas in a high risk zone.
Homestead has a secondary emergency exit, located off Humingbird Trail that exits into the South Forty neighborhood below. Please note this exit is only approved for use during an emergency and will be opened by the fire district when applicable. Please see our Homestead Secondary Emergency Exit Evacuation Map below.
The ERFPD is offering free Personalized Home Fire Risk Assessments to any Eagle County residents. During a Home Fire Risk Assessment, members of ERFPD will visit your home, at a time convenient for you, and carry out an inspection of the inside and/or the outside of your home. These free visits focus on identification and awareness of the potential fire risks specific to your home, as well as what you can do to reduce or prevent the occurrence of a fire or other emergency situation. Please see links below for more fire safety and prevention resources.
Eagle Valley Wildland will offer free chipping during Summer 2026 months
