The risk of Wildland fire in Archuleta County is very high.   Historic records of fire origins indicate starts occur every year.   During years of low winter/spring moisture, the threat of human-caused fire becomes critical by June.  
​
Fires may occur every year and residents need to be as prepared as possible.
