There are three wildfires burning along the front range, which are contributing to poorer air quality here in Golden.
The newest and closest of the three is about 17 miles south of Golden, near the Ken Caryl exit from C-470. The Jefferson County Sheriff is providing regular updates on their website.
NOTE: We can reduce our chances to falling victim to similar wildfires by reducing the fuel on our own property. Golden is lucky to have a nearby slash collection facility.
