NEW: Residents of the Saint Anton Highlands and Falls Pointe neighborhoods will be allowed to return to their homes at 9 a.m. on Wednesday, July 13 and remain.
Other residents within the burn perimeter will be allowed temporary access to their homes from either 7-9 a.m. or 9-11 a.m on Wednesday, July 13, depending on neighborhoods listed below.
Residents’ Access to Burn Area:
Homeowners and residents in areas impacted by the Cold Springs Fire will be briefly allowed into the fire perimeter on July 13 in order to inspect their property, remove spoiled food, and gather personal effects for the next few days.
In order to accommodate this short-term access for residents, a majority of fire operations will be temporarily suspended or shifted within the fire perimeter to safely allow resident access. In order to maintain a safe level of fire operations, residential fire access will be split into two groups:
