Press Release: Stage 1 Fire Restrictions Rescinded

03/01/2021: Through recent discussions and review of area fuel moistures, there is currently no longer a need for Fire Restrictions. At noon today March 1, 2021, in cooperation with our region partners, and to ensure consistent messaging for the local community, I am ordering that all Fire Restrictions are rescinded.

While we have had some recent moisture, conditions could still rapidly deteriorate as we move into the warmer seasons. Because of this, the members of the Pikes Peak Wildfire Preparedness Group will continue to meet weekly to discuss weather predictions, drought conditions, fuel moistures, personnel and equipment resources and fire activity throughout the region and the state.
