Latest Update:

With high wind warnings across Colorado, and sustained above average temperatures, the North Metro Fire Rescue District and the Broomfield Police Department are moving back to a Level 2 Fire Ban, effective immediately, which means no burning allowed, until further notice.

The following activities are prohibited on public and private property during a Level 2 Fire Ban: 

• No outdoor burning with an open flame
• No Charcoal or wood-fired BBQ grills
• No smoking outdoors near combustible materials
• No tossing cigarettes outside
• No outside activity that could cause sparks (i.e. welding, grinding, soldering, etc.) 
• Residents who have an open burning permit are still restricted
• Residents can still use propane grills and gas fire pits, but that's it.

Visit the North Metro Fire Rescue District’s Level 2 Fire Ban page for more information.
