Peer Exchange Launching to Support Colorado’s 2025 Wildfire Resiliency Code Implementation

The Division of Fire Prevention and Control (DFPC) in partnership with the Colorado Resiliency Office (CRO) are launching a Colorado Wildfire Resiliency Code (CWRC) Implementation Peer Exchange. Governing bodies that are adopting or supporting the adoption of the recently released 2025 CWRC are invited to learn from each other and contribute to this peer-to-peer conversation. (NOTE: The meeting is not open to the general public; the Peer Exchange is for implementing agencies and partners only.)

Register to attend the Peer Exchange and receive peer exchange-related email updates:

  • Register here for July 16 from 2pm - 3pm: Introduction to the CWRC Implementation Peer Exchange. This meeting will provide a baseline of information about the CWRC, presented by DFPC. (NOTE: This will be the only recorded session and the recording will be available on the CRO Peer Exchange webpage).

  • Register here for the monthly Peer Exchange, beginning with:
    August 6 from 2pm - 3pm - Kickoff Meeting on the topic of “Who is Implementing the WRC?” All “governing bodies” must adopt a code by April 1, 2026 that meets or exceeds the state standards set forth in the 2025 CWRC. Implementation and enforcement of that adopted code is determined by the governing bodies, which may include different entities and agreements. In this session, local jurisdictions will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of various approaches.

Future peer exchanges will be facilitated on additional topics as defined by the interests of those participating. Find out more about the CWRC here: https://dfpc.colorado.gov/WRCB
