Stage 1 Fire Ban Rescinded

Effective August 10, 2021

Stage 1 Fire Restrictions in place for unincorporated areas of western Boulder County will be rescinded. The past three weeks of monsoonal moisture have resulted in no wildland fire activity in forest; therefore, the Board of County Commissioners and the Boulder County Sheriff have determined the weather is such that fire restrictions are no longer necessary in unincorporated Boulder County.
Residents are reminded that although the fire restrictions are being rescinded, there are still permit requirements in place for slash burning and broadcast burns, also known as prescribed fires
