Recovery Information
We know those impacted by the Alexander Mountain Fire are eager for information on recovery services. We continue to gather information while focusing on supporting first responders in their life safety efforts. Recovery systems are in place, and we are coordinating with our partners to provide resources when more information becomes available.
Post-Fire Entry & Work Authorization
Following the Alexander Mountain Fire, restoration work may be needed throughout the burn area and for downstream communities due to the increased risk of erosion and flooding. Larimer County and its partners cannot do work on private land without the property owner's permission. Even with permission, there are some limitations to what the county can provide, but we have a large number of partner organizations that may be able to assist.
This Right of Entry and Work Authorization Form must be signed for the entities described(i.e., participating recovery organizations) to do any work on your private property. Within this Authorization, you will have the opportunity to opt in or opt out of a number of possible restoration activities, giving you the flexibility to decide what happens on your land.
