As the Teller County Sheriff and Fire Warden, I am alerting you about my serious concerns with the “NoFloCo Fire Mitigation Posse” operating in Teller County.
1. NoFloCo is not a legally recognized entity in the State of Colorado.
2. NoFloCo does not carry any insurance to cover the inherently dangerous activities it has engages in.
3. NoFloCo has a history of unsafe fire mitigation practices, including burning long “snake lines” which are not an approved method for a controlled burn, and unsafe tree cutting/tree felling.
As the Fire Warden, I do not approve of, condone, or permit NoFloCo’s dangerous activities in Teller County and caution the local Fire Districts about this group.
