CSFD hosts town hall on wildfire safety, response

In response to recent wildfires in Los Angeles, the Colorado Springs Fire Department (CSFD) held a town hall to address community concerns about wildfire preparedness and safety. Fire Chief Randy Roybal emphasized that wildfire season has become year-round and introduced new tools like aerial drones for scanning high-risk areas. Residents were informed about the need for ongoing communication with agencies like the National Weather Service to monitor fire risks effectively. Additionally, a small grass fire was reported near I-25 and Tejon Street, where firefighters are actively managing the situation amid elevated fire conditions. The CSFD reassured the community of their ongoing efforts to mitigate risks and educate residents on fire safety. These developments reflect the growing urgency for wildfire preparedness in the region.
