Fire restrictions lifted on the Eldorado National Forest

Fire restrictions lifted

The Eldorado National Forest has lifted fire restrictions on the forest as of October 5, 2015.

Although the forest is still extremely dry, the fire danger was reduced by recent rains. I would suggest you don’t have a fire unless you actually need one. The risk/reward analysis does make a campfire worth the risk of a wildland fire.

Please be smart with fire. Read and obey the rules on the fire permit, which is required to have a campfire. Have water and a shovel at the fire just incase.
