Stage 2 Fire Restrictions Implemented In Eagle County

Eagle County, Colo. -Due to the less favorable weather conditions and lack of moisture throughout Eagle County, all of Eagle County will be implementing “Stage 2” fire restrictions that will take effect on Friday morning, June 26, 2026, at 12:01 a.m.

The Eagle County Sheriff has consulted with local fire chiefs, state and federal partners, and other experts regarding fire danger and has decided to implement restrictions. These decisions are based on specific moisture measurements in vegetation and other risk factors such as predicted weather, available resources, and amount of current fire activity.

The restrictions that will be implemented and remain in place until further notice are;

-No open flame, including but not limited to portable outdoor fireplaces, campfires, wood or charcoal grills. Liquid or gas-fueled stoves with shut-off valves may be utilized.
-No smoking except within an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or in a barren area free of vegetation
-No use of explosive materials, including explosive targets or incendiary rounds.
-No welding or operation of an acetylene or other similar torch with open flame, or any other spark-producing device, without a permit. A ‘HOTWORK’ permit can be issued through your local fire department with a site inspection.
-No operation of any internal combustion engine without a spark-arresting device properly installed and in working order.
-No personal fireworks
-No agricultural burning, unless a valid permit has been duly issued by the appropriate fire authorities.

We want to remind our community, as well as visitors to the area, that you are our first line of defense in preventing wildland fires. With the start of summer, we understand the excitement—but with heightened fire danger, it’s more important than ever to recreate safely. Thank you, everyone, for doing your part to keep Eagle County safe and beautiful.

Restricciones de Fuego Fase 2 Implementadas en el Condado de Eagle
Condado de Eagle, Colo. - Debido a las condiciones climáticas adversas y la falta de humedad en todo el Condado de Eagle, se implementarán Restricciones de Fuego Fase 2 en todo el condado, las cuales entrarán en vigor el Viernes 26 de junio de 2026 a las 12:01 a. m.

El Sheriff del Condado de Eagle ha consultado con los jefes de bomberos locales, socios estatales y federales, y otros expertos sobre el peligro de incendios y ha decidido implementar estas restricciones. Estas decisiones se basan en mediciones específicas de humedad en la vegetación y otros factores de riesgo, como el pronóstico del tiempo, los recursos disponibles y la cantidad de incendios activos.

Las restricciones que se implementarán y permanecerán vigentes hasta nuevo aviso son:

- Prohibido el uso de llamas abiertas, incluyendo, entre otros, chimeneas portátiles al aire libre, fogatas, parrillas de leña o carbón. Se pueden utilizar estufas de gas o combustible líquido con válvulas de cierre.
- No se permite fumar, excepto dentro de un vehículo o edificio cerrado, un área recreativa desarrollada o en un área árida libre de vegetación.
- Prohibido el uso de materiales explosivos, incluyendo balas trazadoras o blancos incendiarios.
- No se permite soldar ni operar sopletes de acetileno u otros similares con llama abierta, ni ningún otro dispositivo que produzca chispas, sin un permiso. El departamento de bomberos local puede emitir un permiso para trabajos calientes “HOTWORK” con una inspección del lugar.

- No se permite el uso de fuegos artificiales personales.
- No se permite la quema agrícola, a menos que las autoridades de bomberos correspondientes hayan emitido un permiso válido.

Queremos recordar a nuestra comunidad, así como a los visitantes de la zona, que ustedes son nuestra primera línea de defensa para prevenir incendios forestales. Con la llegada del verano, entendemos la emoción, pero con el mayor riesgo de incendios, es más importante que nunca disfrutar de actividades recreativas de forma segura. Gracias a todos por contribuir a mantener el condado de Eagle seguro y hermoso.

Eagle River Fire Protection District's Slash Removal/Chipping Program is coming to Red Cliff! Have slash piles stacked by May 24 for pickup.

🚨 EAGLE VALLEY WILDLAND – COMMUNITY CHIPPING PROGRAM IS BACK 🚨

Wildfire mitigation starts at your home—and this is one of the easiest ways to reduce risk around your property.

Our May 2026 Community Slash Removal / Chipping Program is officially scheduled. We’re covering multiple communities across Eagle County with set pickup dates—all you have to do is stack your piles correctly and on time.

👉 Why this matters:
Every branch, every pile, every cleared space = less fuel for wildfire.
This is how we protect neighborhoods before the smoke shows up.

👉 What to do:
✔️ Stack clean slash piles (branches/logs under 15”)
✔️ Place within 5 ft of roadway
✔️ Follow your community deadline (see flyer 👆)

🚫 No construction debris, trash, or mixed piles

This program has already removed millions of pounds of hazardous fuels across Eagle County—and we’re just getting started.

This is your chance to take action. Don’t wait until it’s too late.
