Hickenlooper Suggests Colorado Homeowners Pay Fire Danger Fees

Hickenlooper made his statement after a group he convened made the suggestion.

The group also suggested that statewide construction codes be raised to make buildings more fire proof.

Colorado's governor had formed the group in January.
