A More Positive Spin on Fires in Teller County

Icarus Heights is a simple plan with endless possibilities. We produce one main product called “Sloth Candles.” These home firestarters replace the basic Duraflame-type firestarters found in most retail stores and will be sold for delivery in and around Teller County (some will be available shipped as well). Performance of the firestarters surpasses the store-bought option for your woodburning stove or fireplace, and the price is almost identical–but we provide a free delivery service to local residents. Instead of letting all that firestarter money depart from our region, we are going to try to keep that funding in our community. A portion of the income from this basic product will be used to propel community initiatives in and around Teller County, Colorado. Below is the modest beginning list of community initiatives we are launching with.

We have entered an age where the boundaries of business, family, community, work and play have become drastically blurred (for better or worse). Icarus Heights is an attempt to embrace our changing world. While technically it is a “for-profit” business, its ultimate goal is not just ever-increasing profit. Our goal will be to maintain financial sustainability in order to foster a growing number of unique community services. We will always have an eye toward ongoing growth, but when we grow, we will try to increase our community impact as well.
