Fire Adapted Colorado is an independent non-profit organization closely associated and born out of the Fire Adapted Communities Learning Network (FAC Net), a national network of people working to build wildfire resilience capacity in wildfire-prone communities.

Designed by mitigation specialists and incorporated as a nonprofit in 2015, we believe in connecting, empowering, supporting, and valuing the mitigation specialists who are actively pursuing community and residential mitigation strategies, landscape treatments, post-wildfire recovery efforts, watershed protection treatments and other efforts across the state.

Building relationships that support the collaborative efforts of these and other partners to create better wildfire outcomes for Colorado communities and landscapes, is a key component of transformational social networks, such as Fire Adapted Colorado (FACO), that act as a connecting force in Colorado.

Colorado’s state wide network for Wildfire Resilience

In an era where wildfires are outpacing efforts, Fire Adapted Colorado (FACO), is dedicated to supporting Colorado’s wildfire resilience professionals.

Designed by mitigation specialists, FACO leverages connections to improve the performance and results of its members representing wildfire councils, watershed and fireshed  collaboratives, fire departments and districts; and county/local governments working on fire adaptation in their communities.

FACO collaborates with many state and federal agency partners, research and science groups and other non-profits, who are valued for working on an aspect of community wildfire adaptation with our state-wide network.
