U.S. Forest Service staff were at the announcement, some saying that previous mitigation done in Colorado helped prevent historic blazes like the Cameron Peak and Calwood fires from being double the sizes they could’ve been. However, more is still needed to be done.“At this point there is no margin for error,” Haaland said.
Senator Bennet in-part joked that one of the main reasons the rest of Congress approved the funds for Colorado was due to Washington D.C. experiencing poor air quality in 2020 due to the Cameron Peak, East Troublesome and Calwood fires.
