The Truckee area wildfire season is typically late June through November, or after the region receives significant moisture. As a Boulders homeowner, resident, tenant and / or visitor, you have a vested interest in assisting the community with wildfire mitigation.

Your Responsibility as a Boulders homeowner

First and foremost, review the resources listed on this page. Then take action –

• Do you have Evacuation Route Maps posted?
• Do you have the Evacuation Zone number (TRK-E326) posted and readily available?
• Have you registered for CodeRED emergency alerts?
• Look around the community, and if applicable, look under your deck – is there debris left over from construction, are there personal items (e.g. tires) being stored under your deck? Remove it all, and either take it to the dump, or store personal items in your condo or garage.
• Going away from your unit for a period of time? Clear your deck and entry area of combustible items such as chair cushions, umbrellas, carpets, door mats, & decor.

Additionally, review key wildfire mitigation-related sections of the CC&Rs – Section 3.20. Open Burning On-Site; Section 3.9. Garbage and Storage; Waste; and Section 3.15. Use of Exclusive Use Common Areas.
