Colorado ‘Epic’ Fire Needs OSHACampus 10 Hour Safety Training Course


The epic fire in Colorado, that is still not under control, but getting there, has impacted over 350 homes, and forced 35,000 residents to evacuate the area. The Waldo Canyon Fire near the densely populated hub of Denver, has now been primarily ‘roped-off’ according to authorities in the area.

It should go without saying that there is a desperate need for trained and registered First Responders to this fire-ravaged area. The OSHACampus 10 Hour Safety Training course will be the first step for anyone that desires to help clean up the torched areas of this beautiful state.

The Colorado Springs wildfire has continued to scorch the region on the borders of Colorado's second-largest city for a ninth straight day. It has destroyed so much of the forested areas of Colorado, that it is unclear when the state will return to some semblance of normality.

The Waldo Canyon Fire is now by far the most destructive on Colorado record, already devastating almost 100 more homes than the much larger Fort Collins Fire to the north of Denver, which has destroyed 257 homes.

Hot and high winds have caused further difficulties for the more than 800 firefighters trying to tackle the fiery blaze. Despite the early damage assessments, it is currently impossible to tell with any certainty the precise extent of damage, as the flames are so intense and the smoke so thick making an accurate analysis extremely difficult.

In addition to Colorado, nearby state have also felt the heat of this dramatic fire. Montana, Wyoming, New Mexico, Arizona, California and Utah all have wildfires spreading, and in Colorado despite firefighters working through the burning night, the wildfires were only 35 percent contained by Monday morning.
