KVNF's Senior Reporter Lisa Young chats with Redlands Mesa resident Barry Willits on the impact of the Currant Creek Fire burning east of Cedaredge. Willits, a member of Redlands Mesa Grange, also shared how the grange is supporting fire crews.
Last year Redlands Mesa Grange housed the communications and evacuation center during a mock fire incident last year that helped train multiple fire agencies in Colorado. Willits and his wife were among those who participated in the mock evacuation exercise.
Note: The interview with Mr. Willits took place on Tuesday July 30, 2024 at the Delta County Fairgrounds in Hotchkiss, Colorado. Mr. Willits was volunteering at the Delta County Republican booth.
