BOULDER COUNTY — Prescribed burns are weather and wind dependent.
The Boulder County Fire Management Program says, “Burn projects depend on weather conditions, including relative humidity, precipitation, fuel moisture, and wind. Projects will only proceed when conditions are suitable. Fire managers will monitor all projects until they are called out. Please do not call 911 since these controlled burns are not emergencies.”
Boulder County is planning to conduct prescribed fire operations the week of October 7 on the Cottonwood property (Hygiene) near Highway 66 and North 66th Street.
The purpose of slash pile burns is to reduce the amount of fuel from forestry operations. Burns will only occur when safe fire operations and containment can be ensured.
According to Boulder County the window for operations is open until May 31 in the following locations:
Hall Ranch — west of Lyons
Overland — northwest of Jamestown
Riverside Ranch — south of Ralph Price Reservoir
Reynolds Ranch — southeast of Nederland
Sherwood Gulch — north of Nederland
Loukonen Outlots (new) — near Lyons
