Fire Regulations
Fireworks
In an effort to keep our community safe and maintain the beauty of our majestic mountains, please read and comply with the following important guidelines and information about fireworks. The fire danger along the foothills is high. Please do not use fireworks within the restricted areas.
Open Burning
Open burning is regulated by the Division of Air Quality (DAQ). There are statewide rules in place that regulate open burning activities to help minimize emissions and ensure that the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) are met. Modifications to these rules change the open burn periods and include a statewide requirement to obtain a permit from the local fire department prior to burning.
