Good morning, this is your Boulder Local Frequency for Thursday, March 5th.

Folks, were kicking off today with some critical wildfire updates that hit close to home after yesterdays action in our backyard. A wildland fire sparked up in the Heil Valley Ranch Open Space between Boulder and Lyons, starting as a 30 by 30 foot blaze around 3:45 p.m. By late afternoon, it had grown to about seven acres, smoldering in the grass and understory within the old Calwood Fire scar from 2020. The good news? Fire crews jumped on it fast, and the ranch is temporarily closed to keep everyone safe, but no structures are threatened and its the second such incident in the county this week. This is a stark reminder of our dry winter and elevated risks, so if youre planning hikes there, check Boulder County Sheriffs updates before heading out.[1]

Speaking of staying ahead of flames, Boulders got your back with timely help. Wildfire Partners just opened their 2026 mitigation rebate program two months early, thanks to this unusually warm, dry season. Any Boulder County homeowner or renter can snag up to 500 bucks for smart moves like decluttering under decks to stop embers, swapping the first five feet around your house for noncombustible landscaping, junking those flammable junipers, or screening vents with fine mesh. Applications are live now through October 8th at wildfirepartners.org/rebate, and past years saw over 1,500 folks claim nearly 673,000 total. Commissioner Marta Loachamin nailed it: proactive steps now protect our neighborhoods for real. Grab that rebate and harden your home before summer sneaks up.[2]
