Stage I Fire Restrictions Continue for El Paso County

Today, Sheriff Joseph Roybal met with the El Paso County Sheriff’s Office Wildland Fire Supervisor and the Deputy Fire Warden to re-evaluate current conditions across the Pikes Peak region. Due to the continued lack of precipitation in the immediate forecast and no significant changes in conditions, Stage I Fire Restrictions will remain in effect.

“I thank our community for their continued diligence in following the current fire restrictions,” said El Paso County Sheriff Joseph Roybal. “Protecting the safety of the Pikes Peak region remains my top priority, and maintaining these restrictions is necessary under current conditions.”

Sheriff Joseph Roybal, Fire Warden of El Paso County, will re-evaluate conditions on Friday, December 26, and will update the community should any changes to the existing restrictions occur.
