The Colorado State Forest Service has used the Airport for the past several years to operate a small

a waiting area and small office for communications and staging area. The terminal building has a
small office area on the backside of the building suitable for this purpose and is close to where the
aircraft is staged on the ramp area. This room will be used through the fire season, which typically
runs through the end of September. Use of the room will assist the Forest Service with its
firefighting efforts.
