Ignitions have completed for the day after successfully treating 125 acres at the Forsythe II prescribed burn project. Fire crews will continue to work in the area, patrolling the project and ensuring a secure perimeter. In the interest of public and firefighter safety, a forest closure remains in effect for the area.

Smoke may continue to be visible in Front Range communities. Fire managers work closely with experts to minimize the impacts of smoke. Air quality is carefully monitored before and during a prescribed fire and all prescribed burns comply with state air quality regulations to minimize impacts to communities.
