Fire Restriction Information

Information on Colorado fire restrictions or bans has been update as of July 2, 2014.   This website includes links to each county where the most current information on fire restrictions will be located.  It also contains links to the U.S. Forest Service and BLM Forest webpages for information on restrictions on federal lands.  Please remember that fireworks are not permitted on the federal forest lands. 

The map below can also help you determine if fire restrictions may be in place.  The gray counties have not reported fire restrictions to the Colorado DHSEM. Fire restrictions can change from day to day.  Please check directly with the jurisdiction you are visiting for the most current information.  This map is provided as a resource to those living and visiting Colorado.  The fire restrictions are determined by the local jurisdiction.
