Jefferson County thanks first responders for containing Conifer-area fire

Jefferson County commissioners on July 29 thanked first responders and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office for containing a fire in a rugged area of Conifer. Commissioner Dahlkemper said county and first-responder teams “did a tremendous amount of work to keep a fire contained in a very rugged area of Conifer.” She also specifically thanked the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office for its role in the response. The remarks did not include details on the fire’s size, cause, acreage burned, or timeline. No formal emergency-declaration actions or requests for additional county resources were recorded during the meeting; commissioners’ comments were expressions of gratitude rather than policy directions. The county encouraged residents to consult official emergency communications and Lookout Alert for notifications.
