While responding, a rancher took proactive measures, preventing the fire from spreading further. Despite recent rainfall, our grass remains dry and highly susceptible to ignition.

🔥LARIMER COUNTY FIRE RESTRICTIONS: MARCH 25-MAY 5, 2026

On recommendation by the Larimer County Sheriff, the Board of Larimer County Commissioners today voted 2-0 to adopt fire restrictions in unincorporated Larimer County since the danger of wildfire, forest and grass fires are great due to above-normal temperatures, lightning strikes, and windy, dry conditions.

As of 12:01 a.m., March 25, 2026, restrictions on open fires for the unincorporated portions of Larimer County go into effect. These restrictions stay in effect until 11:59 p.m., May 5, 2026. Also in effect are restrictions on the combustible devices, public firework displays and incendiary devices. This is NOT a fire ban.

⚠️This restriction is in effect for unincorporated Larimer County BELOW 9,000 feet.

RESTRICTED TODAY
❌Uncontained Open Fires
❌Smoking in the open is not allowed, including on trails, parks and open spaces

ALLOWED
✔️Fireplaces or wood stoves located inside a residence
✔️Gas-fueled fires, including grills and camping stoves
✔️Camping and cooking fires in developed camping areas
✔️Fires in permanently constructed masonry fire pits

In order to address fire risk while still accounting for different climate areas, Larimer County has implemented a zoned approach to restrictions. The county is divided into three zones: below 6,000 feet, 6,000–9,000 feet, and above 9,000 feet. View a real-time, interactive map of the restriction area here: https://aegis.larimer.gov/

We had a busy week with two wildland fires and a tanker rollover that was leaking and needed jacks to prevent further leaks. All this meant it was time to clean and restock our hose lines. This usually takes all day! Our own Captain Craig Kling saved us many hours by dreaming up a device that cleans both sides of the hose at the same time! We call it the Kling-O-Matic automated cleaning system! Thanks, Captain Kling, because of the Kling-O-Matic, we were able to be home for lunch!
