Teen Crews Build Fire Safety in Mobile Home Park | Denver News

Teen crews from Boulder County’s Youth Corps are rolling up their sleeves in Lafayette Gardens Mobile Home Park this summer, installing free fire-resistant barriers to help residents fend off wildfire threats — a vital service funded by the county’s wildfire mitigation tax. Many residents here live on fixed incomes and can’t afford safety upgrades, making this program a lifeline. One grateful resident, Ralph Iller, who’s lost homes to fire and flood, says the teens’ work is a game-changer. For the teens themselves, it’s deeply personal — many have friends who’ve been displaced by fires, and they’re using this opportunity to protect their community and make a real difference. The crews will be back in the fall to finish the job. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
