The Gunnison County Sheriff has determined that all fire restrictions for unincorporated Gunnison County will be rescinded, effective Friday, September 18th, at 12:01 a.m.

Before building any outdoor fires or using devices, please check all local and public land ordinances for current rules or restrictions.

Continue to practice fire safety when building outdoor fires or using devices to prevent fire starts. While criteria have been met to lift fire restrictions, fires can still catch and spread.

💦 Make sure fires are put out completely, and shut-off valves are completely turned to the off position.
🧯 Have equipment or water nearby to extinguish fires that get out of control.
✔️ Build outdoor fires in established fire rings and keep the area clear of flammable or dry materials.

For questions, call (970) 641-1113 or (970) 641-8200 outside of regular business hours.

*******

El sheriff del condado de Gunnison ha decidido que se levantarán todas las restricciones contra incendios en las zonas no incorporadas del condado de Gunnison, con efecto a partir del viernes 18 de septiembre a las 12:01 AM.

Antes de encender cualquier fuego al aire libre o utilizar dispositivos, consulta todas las ordenanzas locales y de terrenos públicos para conocer las normas o restricciones vigentes.

Sigue tomando medidas de seguridad contra incendios al encender fuegos al aire libre o utilizar dispositivos para evitar que se produzcan incendios. Aunque se han cumplido los criterios para levantar las restricciones contra incendios, los fuegos pueden seguir produciéndose y propagándose.

💦 Asegúrate de que los fuegos se apaguen por completo y de que las válvulas de cierre estén completamente en la posición de «cerrado».
🧯 Ten a mano el equipo o el agua necesarios para extinguir cualquier fuego que se salga de control.
✔️ Enciende las hogueras al aire libre en los fogones habilitados y mantén la zona libre de materiales inflamables o secos.

Si tienes alguna duda, llama al (970) 641-1113 o al (970) 641-8200 fuera del horario habitual de atención.
