Spring Creek Trail Open to Public

The City of Steamboat Springs has reopened the Spring Creek Trail and Spring Creek
Park for public access. This trail was closed in January 2010 to all public access due to
hazard tree removal and fire break operations. This work was funded by a High Priority
Forest Fuels Mitigation grant that was awarded by the Colorado State Forest Service and
was directed at restoring forest health by removing dead and diseased trees.

Change Your Clock, Change Your Batteries!

As time change approaches on Sunday, March 14, Steamboat Springs Fire Rescue wants
to remind residents to make another change that could save their lives – changing the
batteries in their smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors.

Communities nationwide witness tragic home fire deaths each year. Approximately
every 3 hours a home fire death occurs somewhere in the nation and 80 percent of those
occur in homes without working smoke alarms. Non-working smoke alarms rob
residents of the protective benefits home fire safety devices were designed to provide.

Burning Slash Piles on Emerald Mountain

Burning Slash Piles on Emerald Mountain as part of ARRA Grant Project.

Under a contract with the City of Steamboat Springs, Rogue Resources has been cutting
and removing trees on Emerald Mountain. This work is funded by a High Priority Forest
Fuels Mitigation grant that was awarded by the Colorado State Forest Service and is
directed at restoring forest health by removing dead and diseased trees. As trees are
cut down, much of the unusable biomass is placed into slash piles that are burned. As a
result, citizens may periodically see flames or small smoke plumes on Emerald
