The Northern Colorado Fireshed Collaborative (NCFC) is facilitated by staff from The Ember Alliance and represents federal, state, and local government agencies, nonprofit organizations; academic institutions; and watershed coalitions along the Front Range in Colorado.
We believe deeply in the coordination of human and ecological communities who are dependent upon and impacted by fire. A Fireshed is an area where social and ecological concerns regarding wildfire overlap and intertwine. Our mission in this landscape is to increase the pace and scale of not only mechanical and manual fuel reduction methods, but also prescribed fires and strategically managed wildland fires across jurisdictional boundaries.
The NCFS is facilitated by The Ember Alliance, a nonprofit organization focusing on community planning for wildfire, firefighter training, prescribed fire, and much more. The Ember Alliance also works with the Fire Learning Network to complete specific projects ranging from collecting data through surveys, developing training materials, and writing burn plans.
