Commissioners continue emergency declaration for Aspen Acres Fire response
Summary
The board approved a consent agenda resolution continuing the local disaster emergency declaration for the Aspen Acres Fire and subsequent flooding; staff said direct response costs identified so far amount to about $291,000 and additional costs are expected.
On Sept. 3 the Pueblo County Board of Commissioners approved a consent-agenda resolution continuing the local disaster emergency declaration tied to the Aspen Acres Fire and follow-up flooding, allowing the county to continue emergency response and recovery actions.
County staff reported at least $291,000 in direct response and recovery costs so far, and warned that larger expenses remain pending as burn scars raise future flood risk and federal assistance remains uncertain. The continued declaration maintains the county's ability to pursue federal grants and coordinate ongoing debris removal and temporary lodging support for affected households.
