August 2, 2012        Fire Restrictions Lifted For Arapahoe and Roosevelt Forests 

Fort Collins, Colo. (August 2, 2012) – Stage I Fire Restrictions and related restrictions on discharging firearms were lifted this morning on the on the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests and Pawnee National Grassland (ARP). 

Recent moisture has changed fire conditions enough to lift the restrictions on the ARP. Visitors are reminded that conditions can change quickly so it is important to continue to be careful with every fire, and make sure campfires are completely out.  Visitors are also encouraged to check the status of local county fire restrictions that may still be in place and affect campfires, shooting and other activities on the National Forests System lands.

Recreational shooters are reminded that local closures and target restrictions are still in place. For more information about recreational shooting on the ARP visit: www.fs.usda.gov/goto/arp/targetshooting .

JULY 31, 2012:  Due to wet, cool weather conditions over the last few weeks, the fire restrictions for Gilpin County have been removed.

Sheriff Hartman continues to encourage citizens to follow the Sheriff’s Office on Twitter, Blogger and Facebook for the latest updates on fire restrictions and other emergency situations in Gilpin County.

REMINDER: These pictures are a reminder that even though we have had some significant rain lately, wildland fires can still be a threat. Take steps now to protect your home from a future wildfire. This can spell the difference between your property's destruction or survival.  During a wildfire, law enforcement officials may ask you to evacuate with little warning. Take precautions now to prepare for that possibility.  Even if you are forced to evacuate your home, there are some things you can do to help firefighters defend it.
