A Red Flag Warning has been issued by the National Weather Service for SUNDAY 6.7.26 from 10 am to 10 pm.

While we are NOT automatically moving into Stage 1 Fire Restrictions during a Red Flag Warning, the elevated fire danger makes it critical to use extra caution with any outdoor activity that could create sparks or ignition.

Aunque NO pasamos automáticamente a Restricciones de Fuego Fase 1 durante una Alerta de Bandera Roja, el riesgo elevado de fuego hace que sea crítico tener mayor precaución con cualquier actividad al aire libre que pueda generar chispas o provocar un incendio.

🔥 FIRE DANGER INCREASING TO HIGH ACROSS EAGLE COUNTY 🔥

Eagle Valley Wildland and our partner agencies are increasing fire danger to HIGH throughout Eagle County.

Why the increase?

While many people think of grass as the primary wildfire concern, our biggest drivers right now are timber and brush fuels. Heavy dead and down fuels, dense timber stands, and brush fields continue to dry and are becoming increasingly receptive to ignition. These fuels can support intense fire behavior and make suppression efforts much more difficult.

At the same time, grasses at lower elevations are beginning to cure and become more receptive to fire spread.

🌡️ Weather Outlook:
• High temperatures in the upper 80s and low 90s
• Afternoon humidity values in the single digits and low teens
• Increasing winds through the weekend and next week
• Wind gusts potentially reaching 40–50 mph
• Little to no meaningful precipitation in the forecast

⚠️ There are currently NO Red Flag Warnings or Fire Weather Watches in effect, but conditions will be monitored closely. If forecasted weather develops as expected, portions of Eagle County could experience Red Flag conditions later this weekend and into next week.

As conditions continue to dry, we ask everyone to remain vigilant and do their part to prevent human-caused wildfires.

✅ Secure trailer chains
✅ Avoid parking in dry grass
✅ Use caution with equipment that can create sparks
✅ Stay informed on local fire restrictions and conditions

One less spark means one less wildfire.

News Release: 05.26.26 - Approximately 500,000 Fentanyl pills hidden in furniture boxes seized by GRANITE during a traffic stop of 62-year-old

Eagle County, Colo. –What started as a routine traffic stop on I-70 quickly turned into a major drug seizure of approximately 500,000 Fentanyl pills thanks to the training, instincts, and teamwork of the Gore Range Narcotic Interdiction Team Task Force (GRANITE).

On Thursday, May 21, 2026, a deputy assigned to GRANITE was patrolling the western edge of Eagle County and observed a white Toyota Corolla with Arizona license plates committing several traffic violations.

The deputy initiated a traffic stop. During the contact, the driver's behavior and the deputy’s observations and training prompted additional investigation.

Inside the trunk, the deputy soon uncovered multiple boxes of furniture. The boxes concealed approximately 500,000 suspected fentanyl pills, weighing over 111 pounds, packaged within the furniture.

The driver, 62-year-old Mirna M Valenzuela, from Mesa, Arizona, was taken to the Eagle County Detention Facility. She is being held on a $100,000 bond and is facing the following charges:

~Unlawful Distribution of a Controlled Substance (Fentanyl)- a Class 1 Drug Felony
~Unlawful Possession of a Controlled Substance (Fentanyl) -a Class 4 Drug Felony
~Special Offender (Fentanyl) -a Class 1 Drug Felony

We are proud of the work our GRANITE team continues to do to protect Eagle County from the impacts of illegal narcotics. Through proactive enforcement, specialized training, and strong investigative work, GRANITE detectives help intercept dangerous drugs before they make their way into our communities. Their commitment and vigilance play a critical role in holding offenders accountable and keeping Eagle County Safe.

This multi-jurisdictional drug task force, known as GRANITE, combines efforts from the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office and the Vail Police Department, along with other local law enforcement agencies. By working together and sharing resources, these agencies strengthen efforts to combat drug trafficking and related criminal activity throughout the region.

If you think you may have any information about the suspect or this crime, please call the Eagle County Sheriff’s Office at (970) 328-8500, or if you would like to remain anonymous, you can submit your tip online to the Eagle County Crime Stoppers at www.p3tips.com or send a mobile tip using the free ‘P3 Tips’ mobile app. If your tip leads to the arrest and indictment of any suspect involved, you could earn a CASH reward from the Eagle County Crime Stoppers.

Today, we join the nation in solemn remembrance of the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country.

Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day began after the Civil War to honor fallen soldiers by decorating their graves. Today, we continue that tradition by remembering all who gave their lives for our freedom, and the families who carry their legacy forward.

Our administrative office will be closed today in observance. Regular hours will resume tomorrow.

Emergency services remain available at all times by calling 911.

***EN ESPAÑOL***

Hoy nos unimos a la nación en un recordatorio solemne de los valientes hombres y mujeres que hicieron el máximo sacrificio al servicio de nuestro país.

Nuestra oficina administrativa estará cerrada hoy en conmemoración. El horario regular se reanudará mañana.

Los servicios de emergencia están siempre disponibles llamando al 911.
