New Mountain Shadows Restoration Video
There was a high level of interest in our last video detailing debris removal. We would like to thank Windstar Studios for volunteering their time and resources for its production.
This new video features experts from the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department and the El Paso County Health Department discussing debris removal, licensed contractors, permits required and health considerations. Please watch the video for ways in which you can take the appropriate precautions around the ash and debris in the neighborhoods and take the steps necessary to clean-up and secure your lot.
