Colorado's Summer of 2024 was plagued by intense wildfires, with over 42,000 acres lost to thirteen fires, driving the need for 200 additional firefighters for the 2025 season.
Named the "Pearl Fire," persons in the area of Crystal Lakes north of Black Mountain to the stateline, were ordered to evacuate immediately at 1:19 p.m. on September 16, 2024.
Colorado is currently dealing with numerous wildfires and much like the way K9 Units are used to aid police, three dogs have been enlisted to help our firefighters.
