At The Thompson Group, we believe in doing more than just helping people buy and sell homes—we’re committed to protecting the place we all call home. That’s why we’re proud to announce a meaningful new partnership with the Estes Valley Fire Protection District (EVFPD): the Neighborhood Ambassador Program, focused on proactive fire mitigation across the Estes Valley.
Why Fire Mitigation Matters
Living in a mountain town comes with incredible beauty—but also increased wildfire risk. The best way to protect our community is by preparing in advance. The Neighborhood Ambassador Program is designed to empower local homeowners with education, resources, and hands-on support to make their properties safer and more resilient.
A Collaborative Approach
Through this program:
- The Thompson Group will serve as the official Community Ambassador, using our marketing reach to raise awareness and recruit Neighborhood Ambassadors throughout Estes Valley.
- The Estes Valley Fire Protection District will provide fire safety education, conduct home inspections, and develop customized mitigation plans for homeowners.
- Local contractors—including landscaping, tree removal, and construction pros—will help complete the recommended improvements.
How It Works
- Recruiting Neighborhood Ambassadors:
Community members step up as local leaders, advocating for fire safety on their streets and helping neighbors get started with inspections and improvements. - Home Evaluations & Mitigation Plans:
EVFD conducts free fire inspections and provides a detailed “punch list” of tasks to reduce fire risk. - Getting the Work Done:
The Thompson Group connects homeowners with vetted contractors to complete the work—quickly, professionally, and with peace of mind. - Before-and-After Certification:
Once improvements are finished, we’ll help coordinate drone footage for visual documentation. EVFPD will then issue a “Golden Letter” certifying the home’s reduced fire risk—something that could benefit insurance rates and streamline claims.
