Fire Restrictions and Red Flag Warnings for Pueblo County

 Pueblo County Sheriff's Alert Center

https://www.pueblosheriff.com/AlertCenter.aspx

 

Open Fire and Open Burning Restriction Ordinance 

https://county.pueblo.org/county-attorney/chapter-824-open-fire-and-open-burning-restrictionWhile 


During fire restrictions the sheriff's office reminds people to:

  • Never leave a fire unattended
  • Completely put out a fire, including those in pits and barbecue grills
  • Dispose of all smoking material in a safe manner
  • Keep vehicles off of dry grass
  • Clear dead leaves, branches, needles away from your property, including in gutters, rooflines, around decks, and fences
  • When doing a controlled burn, make sure to contact the burn line (719-583-2876) before starting the fire
  • Adhere to the restriction of NO Burning on days when a Red Flag Warning is issued.

However, fire restrictions still exist in some areas of Pueblo County, like the Bureau of Land Management-administered public lands. For more information, please visit their website.

Controlled Burn Line

Before and after any fire you MUST call the Pueblo County  Controlled Burn Notification Center at 719-583-2876 and leave a message as  to the address of the burn and phone number in the event of weather or  condition changes.


Before beginning a controlled burn, please read all the details for Rural Controlled Burns on the Pueblo Rural Fire Protection District website https://puebloruralfire.com/control-burn-regulations/


Note: If you are planning a controlled burn, after leaving your information with the Controlled Burn Notification Center (contact info above), you can contact RCVF&R through this website "Contact Us" page or leave a message on 719-485-0222 (this is a private number, NOT RCVF&R FD, in the event of an emergency call 911) to let us know your address and time/date of burn so we can get the message out to our team.

If you gives us advanced notice we can also work with you to schedule (resources permitting) firefighters to be present at your controlled burn.
