We receive calls about smoke in the air, and when we know there is a controlled burn in the area, the information can be paramount for the safety of responders, and also help with resource management. You don\u2019t want the fire department showing up to your controlled burn just as much as they don\u2019t want to respond to a false call. Additionally, reporting your controlled burn is the <a href=\"https:\/\/leg.colorado.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2022a_1132_signed.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">law<\/a> in Colorado.<\/p>\n<p>As a resident of Yuma or Washington County, you can report your controlled burn by calling your local Sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Yuma County: 970-332-4805<br \/>\nWashington County: 970-345-2244<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dispatch will answer that phone, and we\u2019ll notify the fire department that you are having a controlled burn.<\/p>\n<p>When you call us, we\u2019ll need a bit of information from you. Location, name and phone number of the person monitoring the fire, the size and contents of your burn, and an estimate of when you think you\u2019ll be finished.<\/p>\n<p>It is important that you call before starting your controlled burn. The Sheriffs in both counties have stated that if the National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning for our area, that constitutes an automatic burn ban. It is also possible for a fire ban on days before a major wind event, due to the possibility of drastic wind or forecast change. That or the possibility that the controlled burn isn\u2019t put out completely and when the wind does arrive it carries the embers of the almost extinguished fire.<\/p>\n<p>A red flag warning is a forecast warning issued by the National Weather Service and means that conditions are ideal for wildland fire combustion, and rapid spread. This information is listed in several places, but we use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weather.gov\/fire\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this map<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The Colorado Air Pollution Control Division lists out some things that are not to be burned. If you tell dispatch that you plan to burn these materials, we\u2019ll recommend that you don\u2019t.
