Slash Pile Burning Planned in Summit County
Prescribed burn operations begin November 2026

Summit County, Colo. – Prescribed slash-pile burning operations are slated to begin next month at multiple sites throughout Summit County, including areas around Breckenridge, Blue River, Frisco, Silverthorne, Dillon and Keystone. Many of the towns around Summit County have multiple burn locations within and around them on assorted private, town, county or federal land.

Burn operations are expected to last one to three days at each location as the weather and conditions allow, but smoke may persist for multiple days. Please do not call 9-1-1 if you see smoke in the area of a designated prescribed burn. You can sign up for alerts related to prescribed burns at scalert.org.

Prescribed burns are conducted through partnerships with Summit County Open Space and Trails, the Summit County Sheriff’s Office, Red White & Blue Fire Protection District, Summit Fire & EMS, the Towns of Breckenridge and Frisco, the Colorado State Forest Service, the U.S. Forest Service, the Colorado Division of Fire Prevention and Control (DFPC) and private landowners.

Prescribed burns are a critical step in fuel-reduction projects throughout Summit County. Many of these projects were made possible by the Summit County Strong Future mill levy and the Summit County Wildfire Council.

Burning will be conducted under specific guidelines and plans established by DFPC and permitted by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. This includes having acceptable weather and fuel conditions to meet the objectives for safe and effective burning and adequate smoke dispersal.

Smoke from these prescribed fires may affect your health. For additional health-related information, visit CDPHE’s website on wood smoke or contact your doctor or health-care professional. Smoke-sensitive individuals can contact Jordan Mead at [email protected] for specific notification prior to burning operations on Summit County land or sign up for CDPHE’s smoke health alerts.

Please join us in congratulating Jackie Pike on a long and distinguished career. Jackie has retired from RWB Fire after serving the district for 40 years!

She started her career as a Volunteer Firefighter, was then hired as the Staff Secretary, became a Permit Tech and eventually the Deputy Fire Marshal. Jackie had a lot of titles over the years and taught safety programs in the schools long enough to see some of those kids join the ranks here at RWB. To say Jackie had an impact on the fire department and this community is an understatement, but one thing she was famous for was her baking, no event went without treats from Jackie's kitchen and in many cases she delivered those treats to the different stations in case they didn't get any.

Jackie will be missed by our staff, the builders she worked with for decades and the schools she dedicated so much time.

The South Park Community Church Fellowship Hall will be hosting a party for Jackie on November 14th at Noon in Fairplay.
