This underground coal seam fire had been smoldering since possibly as early as the late 1800s, but was finally fully extinguished thanks to recent excavation and restoration of the site. The surrounding area can also now return to vegetated wildlife habitat, as before the fire was extinguished the vegetation had to be severely cut back to reduce wildfire risk.

Coal seam fires contribute to climate change by releasing methane and carbon dioxide, and they can potentially spark forest fires which are a particularly high risk in dry, fire-prone climates like much of Colorado.

When wildfire burns, it causes a lot of damage and smoke all around the place. In Colorado, fighting with the wildfire is near to impossible. One might get in trouble while the wildfires expand. Protecting yourself and evacuating the area is the only option you have. However, securing the property after getting a wildfire alert would be a nice decision. The wildfires destroy everything that falls in the way. And, following the alerts given regarding the weather conditions is necessary. Some wildfire alert applications are there to warn people about the coming wildfires. These applications suggest fire prevention and evacuation steps to decrease the damage and injuries.

Now, let us discuss the steps that one should take to decrease the wildfire risks.

1. Check Local News

Listening to the local news for wildfire-related warnings would assist greatly. The wildfire alert applications also provide proper instructions to people all around the area. You can mark your location on the map and know the exact location of wildfires. Moreover, paying attention to the guidelines is important for trimming down the risks of wildfires. The apps offer instructions about the safety measures to evacuate the place within time.

2. Evacuate the Place

Do not rush to anything and remain calm, even when the wildfire is near to the place. Rushing will lead to nothing but increasing the damages. Stay calm and evacuate the place as early as possible. The warning applications also provide Colorado wildfire news to make things easy for people. Make sure to keep all the essential emergency supplies with you while evacuating the place. The smoke from wildfires causes breathing problems and irritation in the eyes. Evacuate the area safely and move to the protected place.

3. Prepare an Escape Plan

A wildfire never comes with a warning, but an escape plan at the right time can decrease the damage. The fire alert applications offer emergency escape plans to keep things in shape. One should follow the evacuation route according to the map. It is essential to keep the transportation means in perfect condition if you reside in a fire-prone area. The emergency alerts and text messages inform people all around the area for how to escape from the fires with ease. Make sure to have an emergency kit that keeps you alive when evacuating the place.
