May Is Fire Prevention Month in Colorado: Supporting Wildfire Resilience Together
Fire Prevention Month in Colorado
May is recognized as Fire Prevention Month in Colorado, a time to raise awareness around wildfire risk and the importance of protecting our homes, communities, and landscapes.
With longer dry seasons and increasing wildfire activity, prevention is no longer seasonal. It’s something Colorado homeowners need to think about year-round.
According to the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control (DFPC), wildfire is now a constant challenge requiring ongoing preparation, coordination, and community involvement.
Colorado’s Growing Focus on Wildfire Preparedness
State leaders continue to invest in wildfire readiness across Colorado.
The 2026 Wildfire Preparedness Plan, presented to Governor Jared Polis, highlights a statewide effort to protect communities through:
- Advanced wildfire detection technology
- Fire behavior modeling
- A strong fleet of firefighting aircraft
- Dedicated ground crews and rapid response teams
As DFPC Director Mike Morgan shared, wildfire is no longer just a seasonal concern; it requires constant vigilance and a coordinated strategy to keep fires small and minimize their impact.
Supporting Fire Adapted Colorado (FACO)
At Cooper Heating & Cooling, we believe protecting Colorado goes beyond the homes we serve.
That’s why this spring, we’re proud to support Fire Adapted Colorado (FACO), a nonprofit dedicated to building wildfire-resilient communities across the state.
Since 2015, FACO has worked with:
- Local wildfire councils

Their work focuses on:

FACO is part of a broader national effort through the Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network, helping communities better prepare for and respond to wildfire risk.
