Welcome to DSV - Disaster Support Volunteers Inc.
"Supporting Those Who Support Our Community"

DSV - Disaster Support Volunteers Inc. (DSV) is a local community 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in the Denver, Colorado foothills. Our goals include providing accurate and timely information regarding natural and human caused disasters and raising public awareness about how to mitigate the threat of those disasters (through our Information Forums and Chat Rooms). For more about DSV, please read  "About DSV" 

As appropriate throughout the year, many jurisdictions institute fire restrictions, and these restrictions may change daily. The Colorado Division of Emergency Management Fire Restriction page provides updated information regarding current restrictions for many areas within the state. Note that local fire departments may have additional restrictions.

Check with your county sheriff and local fire department if you have questions.

It is never the wrong season to work on fire mitigation on your property. Nice weather is the time to clean out gutters, rake up needles and leaves etc., and enjoy living in the mountains. When there is snow on the ground is a great time to plan for spring's mitigation activities.

The only time it is too late to work on fire mitigation on your property is when you have been evacuated due to a wildfire.

If you have not started on wildfire mitigation on your property yet, you should do so! If you know what needs to be done, make a checklist and get to work on it.  If you aren't sure, you can get some helpful tips from our Fire News Forum, and the Firewise website, or contact your local fire department for assistance. Or, you may want to contact Fire Ready to have professionals do it for you.

Remember to check with your local fire department for proper procedures BEFORE burning slash!
