Due to the excellent moisture Chaffee County has received and after conferring with local fire experts the Chaffee County Sheriff’s Office has terminated the current Stage 1 Fire Restrictions.
The fire restrictions have been terminated effective immediately.
Please remember that if you anticipate large scale burning, ditches, or slash piles to call the communications center the day of the burn for permission, as a limited number of burns are allowed each day and to have your burn extinguished by noon and it is always a good idea to have adequate water and equipment to extinguish any fire that gets out of control.
Also please remember that although we have received good moisture as of late, always take caution when burning in any type of activity and always be aware of winds as they normally increase in the afternoon hours.
If you have not done so, register your cell phones with the Everbridge System. To do so go the Chaffeesheriff.org and click the Everbridge link.
