Polis Pushes for Federal Aid After Wildfires | Denver News

Governor Polis is making a strong, well-documented push for federal disaster aid after Colorado’s devastating Aspen Acres and Gold Mountain wildfires, which scorched over 100,000 acres and destroyed hundreds of homes—especially in vulnerable rural communities. With flooding and debris flows compounding the damage and crippling tourism during peak season, the state needs help rebuilding roads, water systems, and supporting uninsured residents, many on fixed incomes. This time, Polis is ensuring every requirement is met after last year’s denied request, hoping this effort will finally secure federal backing to partner with state and local recovery efforts.
