Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests Pile Burning
Publication Type: News 05/18/2023
NEDERLAND, Colo. (Dec. 7) – Firefighters will take advantage of winter conditions this week to burn slash piles along Ridge Road, approximately 2 miles northeast of Nederland.
Conditions are evaluated each day to determine if ignition will take place. Ignitions are generally expected to begin after 10 a.m. and will cease several hours before sunset. Smoke may be visible. Precipitation, wind, temperature, fuel moisture and staffing all play a part in when and whether ignition occurs. Firefighters monitor the area after burning is complete. Public and firefighter safety is always the number one priority in burning operations.
