Higher temperatures and extremely low moisture have increased the fire danger in our area, and as a result, the Coal Creek Canyon Fire Protection District has entered Stage 1 Fire Restrictions. Stage 1 Fire Restrictions have currently been enacted in Boulder County, Jefferson County, Gilpin County, and the USDA Forest Service.
As a reminder, Stage 1 restrictions mean that no open burning will be allowed on public lands within the Coal Creek Canyon Fire Protection District. This includes the campgrounds on Winiger Ridge on the west side of Gross Reservoir. Acceptable open burning on private property within the CCCFPD is permitted when in full compliance with campfire requirements, although residents are urged to exercise a high degree of caution due to worsening fire danger conditions.
Fire Restriction information – by County – can be found on the following county websites:
