The Sulphur Ranger District in Grand County entered Stage 1 fire restrictions on Aug. 22.

Fire Restrictions limit where and what types of fires visitors can have, and are implemented based on conditions, availability of fire fighting resources, and in partnership with surrounding management agencies to help prevent wildfires. Agency restrictions might differ on occasion, know before you go by checking local county regulations.

The following is PROHIBITED under Stage 1 Fire Restrictions:

  • Igniting, building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire (including fires fueled by charcoal or briquettes) outside of a developed campground or recreation site with established forest service fire rings or grills.
  • Smoking, except in an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable materials.
  • Operating a chainsaw without an effective and properly installed spark arrestor, a fire extinguisher kept with the operator, and a shovel.
  • Blasting, welding, or operating a torch with an open flame without being in a cleared area of at least 10 feet in diameter and having a fire extinguisher kept with the operator.
  • Fireworks are always prohibited on National Forest System lands.

The following activities and uses are ALLOWED under Stage 1 Fire Restrictions:

  • Open fires contained in permanently constructed metal or concrete fire pits and/or charcoal grills that the Forest Service has installed and maintained at its developed campgrounds, picnic areas and administrative areas.
  • Liquid or gas fueled stoves, lanterns, or heating devices with on/off switches on surfaces clear of flammable vegetation.

Violation of Stage 1 fire restrictions could result in a maximum fine of $5,000 for an individual or $10,000 for an organization, or imprisonment for more than six months, or both. If responsible for causing a wildfire, one could be held accountable for suppression costs of that fire.
