Fire Adapted Colorado

Fire Adapted Colorado
(our friends know us as FACO) 
is Colorado's Network for Wildfire Resilience

Stronger wildfire leaders. Safer communities. A more resilient Colorado.

Behind every successful wildfire resilience effort are dedicated people working to protect the places we call home.

Fire Adapted Colorado (FACO) connects and empowers those people.

Since 2015, FACO has served as Colorado's statewide network for wildfire resilience, bringing together fire departments, local governments, wildfire councils, watershed collaboratives, community leaders, and other professionals working to reduce wildfire risk.

We believe that when the people doing this important work have the tools, knowledge, and connections they need, all of Colorado benefits.

Connecting People. Strengthening Communities.

Wildfire doesn't recognize property lines, jurisdictional boundaries, or county borders. Effective wildfire resilience requires collaboration across all of them.

FACO helps make that collaboration possible.

Through our statewide network, we connect professionals, share critical information, provide training, and strengthen partnerships that help communities prepare for, adapt to, and recover from wildfire.

Your donation helps sustain the network behind Colorado's wildfire resilience efforts.

From Statewide Connections to Neighborhood Action

Wildfire resilience begins locally.

Through our Neighborhood Ambassador program, FACO equips community members with the knowledge, training, and resources to lead wildfire adaptation efforts in their own neighborhoods.

In 2025, FACO trained more than 200 Neighborhood Ambassadors.

These local leaders help neighbors understand wildfire risks, organize mitigation activities, recruit volunteers, and take practical steps toward becoming more fire adapted.

FACO also supports community-led projects through small grants that can help launch activities such as neighborhood chipper days.

Your Gift Makes This Work Possible

The people working to make Colorado more wildfire resilient shouldn't be held back by the cost of accessing essential knowledge and support.

That's why FACO provides many of its most urgently needed services, training opportunities, and resources free of charge.

But providing these services takes funding.

Your donation helps FACO continue connecting professionals, supporting community leaders, sharing resources, and strengthening wildfire resilience efforts across Colorado.

Whether you live in a mountain town, a Front Range neighborhood, or a rural community, wildfire resilience matters to all of us.

When you support FACO, you support the people making wildfire resilience possible.
