Beginning Tuesday, August 10, 2021, the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grasslands will lift fire restrictions within Clear Creek, Boulder, and Canyon Lakes Ranger District and also the Pawnee National Grassland. National Forest managers have coordinated with our partners to make this decision but warn that fuels can dry out rapidly and restrictions may again be needed in the future.

Fire danger has been moderated due to the continued monsoonal moisture, across the Northern Front Range. There is still some risk from wildfire and conditions will vary by location. Caution and compliance with fire safety across the forest is critical. Stage 2 Fire Restrictions will remain on the Sulphur Ranger District within Grand County, Colorado at this time.

“We’ve seen increased rains and in coordination with other land managers, we’re cautiously lifting fire restrictions on the Front Range. Please use extreme caution with campfires as always. Never leave them unattended and make sure the ashes are cold before you leave,” said Forest Supervisor, Monte Williams.
