SWIFT crews aid village wildfire mitigation projects
Crews from the Colorado State Wildland Inmate Fire Team (SWIFT) continue wildfire mitigation projects in the village this week in coordination with the Roaring Fork Fire Rescue Authority.
Work to reduce fire fuels and dense vegetation near Town Hall, Mountain View and the South Rim trailhead began July 6 and will wrap up by Friday, according to a news release. Expect some noise from power tools from about 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on work days.
Last week, the team cleared about 4 acres of heavy brush behind Town Hall to create defensible space around the building and clear the area around an emergency communication tower, according to an email from John Mele, Roaring Fork Fire Rescue deputy chief and fire marshal.
Work near the South Rim trailhead this week involves the removal of fuels near the adjacent neighborhood and toward the Connector Trail. If there is additional time this week, crews will head over to the Ditch Trail to remove “hazardous dead-standing trees,” per the release.
